American Crash Course: Nagelsmann Plans His World Cup - Nagelsmann’s Bold Strategy for Germany’s 2026 World Cup Challenge
The German Football Association (DFB) has set its sights on a base camp in the southeastern United States. This location offers shorter travel times to training facilities and a quieter environment. An official announcement will follow once FIFA confirms the match schedule, likely around a week before the tournament begins.
Germany will enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a base camp in the American heartland and a group-stage lineup against Curaçao, Ivory Coast, and Ecuador. The team’s preparations continue, with Nagelsmann focusing on avoiding past mistakes in tournament planning. A final decision on the base camp and remaining friendlies will come after FIFA’s schedule announcement.
