Argentina have confirmed their World Cup base camp location | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada is just around the corner, and the Argentina National Team will be in Group J with Algeria, Austria, and Jordan. With the venues and match times already confirmed, the Albiceleste has finalized where it will set up its base: it will stay in Kansas City, where it will play two of its three first-round matches.

This Wednesday, the Argentine Football Association officially announced on social media that “after several inspection trips led by Fitness Coach Luis Martín, Assistant Fitness Coach Juan Tamone, and administrators Daniel Cabrera and Alberto Pernas, and following a thorough final report, it was concluded that Kansas City would be the ideal place to face the competition.”

This decision was made “based on the distances between cities, but mainly due to the conveniences for the delegation.” In that city, the team led by Lionel Scaloni will face Algeria in their opening match and Jordan in the third matchday, while the second match will be in Dallas against Austria.

“Its location on the map is in the Midwest of the United States, near the country’s geographic center at the confluence of the nation’s second-largest river, the Missouri River, and the Kansas River. As for the city’s climate, it is in the transition zone between humid subtropical and humid continental. Summers are hot and humid, with moist air coming from the Gulf of Mexico,” they explained.
