In the United States, people are eager for the FIFA Club World Cup, thanks in part to the special detail that 34 cities will host the world’s best clubs as their bases. They won’t host matches, but they will provide the spaces where the teams practice, which brings the world of soccer to towns across Canada. Because more people want a base camp, selecting one has become a tougher choice.
Club World Cup North American tour will see 34 cities hosting base camps
Team camps were set up in 34 cities as chosen by FIFA this year, so leading clubs now get more chances to interact with residents and train near them. Because of this way, the Club World Cup will be noticed in many parts of the country, as players and coaches live nearby, play on local grounds, and help many people start following soccer. Groups of people in large cities, as well as regular soccer leagues, are spreading the message about setting up planning base camps.
To start the sports event, the team visited advanced training spots, calming zones, and engaged in extra team activities in that area. All the base camps will provide athletes with a home and let fans join in watching their idols work out and participate in events organized for the community.
There are base camp cities set up in a total of 34 states
Base camps set up in 34 cities are found in 16 different states across the nation. Here is how everything is divided:
- California (5):Â Los Angeles, San Jose, San Diego, Santa Clara, Pasadena
- Texas (4):Â Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio
- Florida (3):Â Miami, Orlando, Tampa
- New York (3):Â New York City, Harrison, Buffalo

Each city will host a minimum of one team training center, and larger cities will host multiple clubs. This allocation ensures that fans from every area will be able to view the Club World Cup matches, though none of the matches are hosted in their city.
What this does for fans: Open training, community activities, and a soccer festival like never before
Having the best clubs in these cities is more than exclusive behind-closed-door practices. Open training, youth clinics, and grassroots development would be on offer at most base camps, providing a local support base an opportunity to engage with world icons. Watch out for a party scene when teams arrive, with the city’s businesses, schools, and soccer associations getting in on the party.
To those host cities that are not, this is an opportunity of a lifetime to be part of the world’s largest club competition. The legacy of these base camps will last long after the final whistle, encouraging generations to come and shaping America’s soccer heritage.

Local eateries, hotels, and stores are preparing to welcome an abundance of tourists, with youth soccer clubs hosting special events to welcome the teams.
