The Brazilian Football Confederation has selected Columbia Park Training Facility as its Team Base Camp training site for the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

Located in Morris Township, New Jersey, the Columbia Park Training Facility is the performance center for Major League Soccer's Red Bull New York.

"We are very pleased with this decision," said Carlo Ancelotti, head coach of Brazil, according to the Brazilian Federation. "The Training Center is new, modern and offers all the conditions for our work, before and during the World Cup. I want to thank them for welcoming us and showing us all the space."
