"The DFB announced that the team will stay at The Graylyn Estate hotel and train on the grounds of Wake Forest University, which is just minutes away from the hotel. The base camp itself is strategically located in the middle of Germany's group stage venues - Houston, Toronto, and New York/New Jersey. All three cities are a two to three hour flight away from Charlotte."
"From this writer's research, the location looks like a quiet, remote place, fully detached from the hustle and bustle of the World Cup (or völlig losgelöst, as the Germans may say). Whether that is a good choice remains to be seen, though. Germany also set up camp far away from the capital area of Doha during the last World Cup, and the results were not exactly satisfying."
Germany's national team will base its 2026 FIFA World Cup camp in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The squad will stay at The Graylyn Estate and train on Wake Forest University's grounds a few minutes from the hotel. The base lies centrally between group-stage venues Houston, Toronto, and New York/New Jersey, each two to three hours by air from Charlotte. The site appears quiet and remote, detached from World Cup bustle. The team will play a dress rehearsal against the USA in Chicago on June 6 before settling into Winston-Salem. Past remote bases have produced mixed results.
