The Scotland Men's National Team will base themselves in Charlotte, North Carolina, for FIFA World Cup 2026™. 

Head Coach Steve Clarke will put his squad through their paces at MLS side Charlotte FC's state-of-the-art training facility and stay nearby. 

December's draw in Washington pitted Scotland against Brazil, Haiti and Morocco in Group C and no stone will be left unturned in preparation for a return to the finals for the first time since 1998. 

Steve Clarke said: "We are delighted to confirm Charlotte as our training base. 

"We looked at the FIFA-nominated options – against our own predetermined criteria – and Charlotte FC have a top MLS training facility, with everything we need to prepare for our matches.  

"I'd like to add that Charlotte FC's staff could not have been more welcoming.  

"As most competing nations have discovered, travel will be an important factor in this World Cup. Our base in Charlotte will be convenient for the airport, with flights of around two hours to Boston and Miami for our group stage matches.  

“We are hopeful that this will give us the best possible conditions to get ready for the tournament and it's another exciting landmark ahead of the summer."
