Boston – June 10, 2026: The French national football team has chosen Boston as their main base for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States. The team will stay at the luxurious Four Seasons hotel located in the heart of Boston, enjoying a top-class environment for recovery and preparation. The training camp is located on the Babson College campus in Wellesley, about 30 kilometers west of Boston. There, modern sports facilities, training grounds, fitness centers, and relaxation areas are provided to allow the team to prepare optimally for the World Cup.
Coach Didier Deschamps and his staff especially valued a combination of excellent infrastructure, transport accessibility, and pleasant climate conditions when selecting the location. Boston offers a quiet environment away from bustle, while also having excellent transport networks to the group stage matches scheduled on the East Coast. The mild June climate is considered ideal for players to undertake intense training without overheating.
The Four Seasons hotel offers the team a comfortable accommodation environment equipped with all the amenities professional football players require. From spacious rooms to wellness programs such as sauna and massage rooms, it is optimized for the care of the players’ bodies. In addition, a secure area for players and coaching staff is provided to ensure complete rest.
On the Babson College grounds, several training fields with artificial and natural turf are available. There is also a fitness center for strength training and endurance enhancement, allowing for individualized workouts. Spaces for recovery and regeneration include whirlpool tubs and lounges. In cooperation with the university, experienced professionals provide medical support and physiotherapy services to systematically assist the players.
France is in Group I of the 2026 World Cup group stage. The opening match will be held on June 16 in New York/New Jersey against Senegal. This will be followed by a match on June 22 in Philadelphia against an as-yet-undecided opponent, and the final group game on June 26 in Boston against Norway. Choosing Boston as the training and accommodation location emphasizes the French team’s professional and forward-looking preparation plan to maintain peak condition throughout the tournament.
The training camp has already welcomed a team from France Télévisions, providing an introduction to the atmosphere and progress on site. This allows fans to see the players’ preparation process up close while respecting their focus.
This meticulous planning once again confirms the French national team’s clear goal to play a significant role and compete at the highest level in the 2026 World Cup.
