FIFA has confirmed that Ghana will be based at Bryant University in Boston during the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The announcement forms part of FIFA's official confirmation of all 48 Team Base Camp Training Sites that will serve as the headquarters for participating nations during the expanded tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Bryant University will act as Ghana's training base and operational headquarters throughout the group phase, providing facilities for players, coaches and support staff as they prepare for matches.

The Black Stars have been drawn in Group L and will begin their World Cup campaign against Panama in Toronto before facing England in Boston and Croatia in Philadelphia.

Ghana's choice of a Boston-based camp is expected to reduce travel demands ahead of their second group match against England, which will also be played in the Massachusetts city.

FIFA described Team Base Camps as a crucial part of the World Cup experience, serving as a team's "home away from home" during the tournament.

"Team Base Camps are an integral part of the fabric of any FIFA World Cup," FIFA World Cup 2026 Chief Operating Officer Heimo Schirgi said.

"They are where teams put down roots, train and recuperate, and experience the day-to-day rhythms of the tournament."

The selection process began in 2024, with qualified nations choosing from more than 60 training site options across North America following the World Cup draw in December 2025.

Of the 48 participating nations, 39 teams have selected bases in the United States, seven in Mexico and two in Canada.

For Ghana, Bryant University will become the centre of operations as Carlos Queiroz's side look to make a strong impression at the tournament and advance from a challenging group that includes Panama, England and Croatia.

The Black Stars are currently in Cardiff preparing for a friendly against Wales on June 2 before travelling to North America for the World Cup.
