Spain’s selection of Chattanooga comes after a rigorous evaluation process by team officials and tournament partners, who assessed training sites across North America for field quality, privacy, security, infrastructure, and proximity to match venues. Chattanooga met every benchmark, earning the confidence of organizers.

Chattanooga has built a proud legacy as a premier soccer destination. Our community has welcomed global powerhouses like the U.S. Women’s National Team in 2015, the U.S. Men’s National Team for an exhibition match in 2017, and most recently served as a Team Base Camp for Auckland City FC last summer. With world-class facilities, two thriving pro clubs, and coordinated support from our community and local partners, Chattanooga offers the infrastructure, resources, and passion needed to support Spain’s preparation for competition against the world’s most iconic teams.
