FC Porto brought World Camps to the 2026 World Cup host trio | 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 set to host the 2026 World Cup: Mexico, Canada, and the United States.

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

In recent weeks, the FC Porto World Camps were 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, Quebec 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 aspect, the FC Porto World Camps serve as a platform for the international expansion of FC Porto’s blue-and-white training model, sharing the Club’s identity, values, and methods with new communities. Their presence in all three host countries of the 2026 World Cup highlights FC Porto’s ability to activate its brand at moments of major international visibility and deep emotional connection to football.

Although 2026 has not yet ended, the project has already delivered 48 FC Porto World Camps, with more than 4,000 young participants in 11 countries. These figures reflect the program’s sustained growth and the international recognition earned 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 training methodology to thousands of young people, the project has established itself as a strategic tool for international expansion. In this way, it helps strengthen the Club’s profile and build lasting relationships with communities of supporters across several continents.
