Bentley University Selected as Team Base Camp Training Site for French National Team During FIFA World Cup 2026™

On Thursday, Bentley University announced it will host the French national football team as its official Team Base Camp Training Site for the FIFA World Cup 2026 this June.
The French Football Federation selected Bentley for its top-quality athletic fields and proximity to Foxborough, following a campus visit earlier this week by president Philippe Diallo and head coach Didier Deschamps.
Deschamps stated, "We believe that Bentley is the best option for the French national team," while President E. LaBrent Chrite said the university is "thrilled to provide a home away from home."
The university will coordinate additional security for the campus and surrounding community, while summer courses and daily operations will continue without interruption or delay.
Located on 163 acres in Waltham, Massachusetts, Bentley enrolls 4,500 undergraduates as the FIFA World Cup begins June 11 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
