"World governing body Fifa is not likely to rubber-stamp the location of each nation's training facilities until the start of February. But the Football Association has submitted a request to stay in the Missouri city, with the state-of-the-art Swope facility nominated as their first-choice daily training base. While Fifa is still to officially confirm each nation's chosen base, it is understood England are very likely to be allocated their preferred location."
"England's Group L matches against Croatia, Ghana and Panama will be played in Arlington (Texas), Foxborough (near Boston) and East Rutherford (New Jersey) respectively. Head coach Thomas Tuchel's team will travel to each location from their Kansas City base and then return after each game. It remains to be seen whether England decide to remain in Missouri should they make it through the group stage."
England have nominated Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City as their preferred daily training base for the World Cup, with the Football Association submitting a request to stay in the Missouri city. FIFA is not expected to finalise training locations until the start of February, but England are understood to be likely to receive their preferred allocation. England's Group L matches will be in Arlington (Texas), Foxborough (near Boston) and East Rutherford (New Jersey). Head coach Thomas Tuchel's team will travel to each match from Kansas City and return afterwards. A pre-tournament training camp is planned in Florida, including two games, and England have considered following knockout fixtures and establishing temporary bases near elimination venues.
