Overview
- FIFA finalized every Team Base Camp on Tuesday, May 26, locating 39 teams in the United States, seven in Mexico and two in Canada and listing specific sites such as Argentina at Sporting KC in Kansas City and Brazil in the New York/New Jersey area.
- The United States publicly unveiled its 26‑player roster on May 26 at a live event in New York after the list leaked over the weekend and reports said manager Mauricio Pochettino notified players who missed selection by email rather than personal calls.
- Match schedules and venue assignments are set for the June 11–July 19 tournament with the U.S. opening against Paraguay at SoFi Stadium on June 12 and England opening against Croatia at AT&T Stadium on June 17.
- FIFA’s Last‑Minute Sales Phase and the Official FIFA Resale Marketplace remain open for verified tickets but availability is limited and prices are high in many markets, with Miami listings roughly between $600 and $5,000 as of May 26.
- The tournament’s expansion to 48 teams has driven the use of college campuses and MLS facilities as base camps, spreading economic impact to 25 non‑host communities while creating larger travel, lodging and training logistics for teams and supporters.
