The U.S. men will make their home in Irvine, California, during the World Cup.
The USMNT will be based at Great Park during the tournament, which begins June 11 and will be played in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Orange County complex has a soccer stadium with locker rooms and a training facility, as well as six lighted grass fields and a natural grass flex field that can hold another four full-size grass fields.
The facility also is less than 15 miles from John Wayne Airport and about an hour bus ride from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where the U.S. men will play two of their group-stage games.
The U.S. men will play all of their group-stage games on the West Coast. The Americans, who were drawn into Group D, open against Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium. They play Australia on June 19 in Seattle and wrap up the group stage June 25 against a still-to-be-determined European team at SoFi.
“The (Great Park) facilities are simply outstanding and will provide the perfect training environment for our team to prepare to be successful at the World Cup,’ U.S. Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker said in announcing the training site.
The USMNT will announce its 26-man roster on May 26 in New York City.
