- On Monday, FIFA confirmed the full list of 2026 World Cup base camp sites for all 48 participating teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States, with 16 host cities and 25 additional communities hosting facilities.
- The expanded 2026 tournament format required unprecedented infrastructure coordination; FIFA World Cup 2026 COO Heimo Schirgi emphasized the opportunity to involve more communities and fans in this 'groundbreaking' event.
- Just two countries chose Canadian base camps: Canada at UBC's National Soccer Development Centre in Vancouver, and Panama at Nottawasaga Inn Resort in New Tecumseth, Ontario.

- Canada will train at the National Soccer Development Centre at UBC in Vancouver and stay at the Westin Bayshore, with group-stage matches in Toronto and Vancouver. A group-stage victory positions the team for up to two additional knockout matches at BC Place.
- The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with the expanded base camp network positioning communities throughout North America to participate in what FIFA World Cup 2026 COO Heimo Schirgi described as a 'groundbreaking tournament.
