Teams Base Camps

FIFA revealed Tuesday Team Base Camps for the teams participating in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which will be held from November 21 until December 18 in Qatar.

In its statement on Tuesday, FIFA said that a total of 162 inspection visits were organized for the teams that participated in the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers, starting in October 2019.

FIFA pointed out that the participating 32 teams will have a Team Base Camp (TBC) to call home at the most compact FIFA World Cup since the inaugural instalment in 1930. With no domestic flights required during the tournament, the same top-class facilities will be used throughout the competition. For this edition, therefore, official training sessions the day before matches will also be held at the respective training sites.

A Team Based Camp (TBC) is the headquarters of a participating team during the competition period of the FIFA World Cup. It combines a dedicated Team Base Camp Training Site (TBCTS) with a suitable hotel or other form of accommodation (TBCH). There will be three types of training site in use during the tournament: local clubs, cluster training facilities and stadium training sites. Many have been built from scratch or renovated, representing an important part of the tournaments legacy for grassroots football in Qatar.

The TBCHs range from four- and five-star hotels to villas, resorts and non-hotel accommodation, including sports academy residences and school/university housing. Besides facilities such as treatment rooms, they feature dedicated common areas to safeguard teams privacy, and also comply with the relevant security protocols.
