L’Equipe: The French national team has basically decided to set up its base camp for the World Cup in the United States.
6686 Sports News on November 14 According to L’Equipe, the French national team has basically determined that it will set up its base camp in the United States during the 2026 World Cup. Currently, the French coaching staff needs to submit the final selection to FIFA before early January next year.
The US-Canada-Mexico World Cup will divide the group stage schedule according to three geographical regions: Western, Central and Eastern. The French team will learn the specific location of the first round of competition after the draw ceremony on December 5, and then accurately screen the alternative camps accordingly.
As a seeded team, the French team has priority in camp selection. According to the current schedule simulation, the French team has basically ruled out the possibility of setting up its base camp in Mexico or Canada because the number of group matches in the above regions is limited.
After confirming the promotion, the French team coach Deschamps also emphasized that the final decision of the camp still needs to wait for the draw results: "The regional span is too big. Even in the same division, the distance between cities is very far. We and the team have made a lot of preparations in advance, but everything still needs to be determined after the draw."
