Morocco World Cup 2026 Base Camp New Jersey Luxury Headquarters

The Lions of the Atlas have found their base camp for the 2026 World Cup. The team will settle in New Jersey, within a vast historic sports complex, located just a few kilometers from a prestigious hotel.

To prepare for this major event, the Moroccan national team has chosen The Pingry School, an estate of 123 hectares located in Basking Ridge. This choice was officially confirmed by Youssef Amrani, Morocco’s ambassador to the United States, jointly with the local governor and the organizing committee. These training grounds have a rich history, as they previously hosted the Italian team during the American edition of the World Cup in 1994.

This strategic geographical position will greatly facilitate the team’s schedule on the east coast. The players will face Brazil on June 13 at MetLife Stadium, Scotland on June 19 in the Boston area, then Haiti on June 24 in Atlanta. As final preparation, a friendly match is scheduled for June 7 against Norway, in a stadium located just thirty minutes from their base camp.

The state of New Jersey, future host of the final in July, stands out as the true beating heart of the competition. As detailed by Infobae media, several other nations will establish their headquarters there. Brazil will train in the Morristown area, while the Senegalese and Haitian delegations respectively opted for university facilities in Piscataway and in the southeastern region.
