FC Porto took World Camps to the 2026 World Cup host nations | OneFootball

With North America taking on a central role in the international football landscape, FC Porto expanded its presence beyond borders by organizing FC Porto World Camps in the three countries that will host the 2026 World Cup: Mexico, Canada and the United States.

Held during the competition period, the initiative enabled the Club to connect with new communities, young players, families and local partners. At the same time, it brought Porto’s youth development methodology to strategic markets, in a context of strong excitement surrounding football.

In recent weeks, the FC Porto World Camps have been held in several cities across the World Cup host countries. In Mexico, activities took place in Obregón, Los Mochis, Progreso, Ciudad Juárez and Monterrey. In Canada, they were held in Montreal, Toronto, Québec City, Trois-Rivières and St. John’s. In the United States, they took place in Huntington Beach, Irvine, Long Beach, Cypress and Philadelphia.

Beyond the sporting dimension, the FC Porto World Camps serve as a platform for the international expansion of the blue-and-white youth development model, conveying the Club’s identity, values and methods to new communities. Their presence in the three host countries of the 2026 World Cup demonstrates FC Porto’s ability to activate its brand at moments of major international visibility and strong emotional connection to football.

Although 2026 has not yet ended, the project has already delivered 48 FC Porto World Camps, with the participation of more than 4,000 youngsters in 11 countries. These figures reflect the program’s sustained growth and the international recognition achieved by FC Porto’s training methodology.

During the current season, the FC Porto World Camps were also held in France, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, Poland and Ghana. The initiatives featured Club coaches, certified local technical staff and a network of international partners, ensuring high standards of organization and quality across different regions.

By bringing the FC Porto brand and its youth development methodology to thousands of young people, the project is establishing itself as a strategic tool for international expansion. In this way, it helps strengthen the Club’s profile and build lasting relationships with fan communities across several continents.
