England, Argentina and the Netherlands have all chosen Kansas City, Missouri as their World Cup base camp making the midwestern city the most star-studded location in the entire tournament.
England will train at Swope Soccer Village, roughly 20 minutes from their accommodation.
Argentina are set up at the Sporting KC Training Centre, while the Netherlands are based at the KC Current Training Facility.
Three elite squads. Three world-class setups. One city.
The city, already known for its barbecue, jazz heritage and passionate sports culture, is about to be introduced to the world on football’s biggest stage. Hotels are full. Restaurants are booked. And the fan energy has not even started yet.
Argentina’s supporters are known for their unmatched emotional intensity with chants like “Vamos Argentina” and the iconic “Muchachos” anthem have become some of the defining sounds of modern World Cups.
England’s travelling army will bring their own brand of noise. And the Netherlands, with their famous sea of orange, complete a trio that will turn Kansas City streets into something the city has never seen before.
Argentina arrive as defending champions, aiming to become the first back-to-back men’s world champions since Brazil in 1962.
Lionel Messi leads them in what is widely expected to be his final World Cup.
England come with Harry Kane and a squad that has never been hungrier. The Netherlands, always dangerous, arrive with their own ambitions.
