USMNT World Cup Base Chosen After Three-Year Search, Pochettino Confirms
Mauricio Pochettino says the USMNT's World Cup base meets all requirements after an extensive search and late change.
The United States men's national team has finalized its base camp for the upcoming World Cup after a three-year search that included a last-minute pivot, according to head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino described the process as 'crazy' but expressed confidence that the chosen location provides everything the squad needs for success during the tournament.
The search spanned three years and involved evaluating multiple potential sites before the team settled on the current facility. A late change from an earlier plan led to the final decision.
Preparations for the World Cup
The USMNT will aim to improve on their 2022 World Cup performance, where they advanced to the round of 16. Pochettino has been heavily involved in logistical planning for the tournament.
