Many of the top nations in the World Cup have committed their base camps outside of North Texas.

DALLAS — With just over four months until the World Cup kicks off, North Texas’ base camps have yet to be publicly declared as any nation’s home away from home during the tournament. 

We learned which nations will play their matches at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, being rebranded “Dallas Stadium” for the World Cup, back in December. Both Argentina and Japan will play two matches apiece in North Texas. Netherlands, England, Jordan and Austria all play one match. 

Yet, to date, none of them have picked DFW as their base camp, and some have already planted their flags elsewhere in the U.S., according to reports. Japan plans to stay in Nashville, according to our partners at the Dallas Business Journal.

Argentina, England and Netherlands are all eying Kansas City for their base camps, according to ABC affiliate KMBC. 

FIFA has yet to make an official announcement for base camp designations, but it is expected within the next few weeks, sources have told WFAA.

DFW has four team base camps paired with hotels live on its website: Toyota Stadium and the Westin Stonebriar Golf Resort & Spa in Frisco; Texas Christian University and the Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown Hotel in Fort Worth; the University of North Texas and Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center in Denton; and the new Mansfield Stadium with the Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Arlington South.

The Cotton Bowl and Dallas Baptist University have previously been identified as base camps, according to FIFA Dallas, despite not showing up on the official FIFA website. A report from the Miami Herald says teams are free to secure their own training sites and lodging facilities.

There have not been any national teams to announce their selection for a DFW-based site, but sources told WFAA there have been numerous national team visits to these North Texas venues.

A handful of the top-ranked nations in the world have already publicly announced their base camp selections: Germany in North Carolina, France in Boston, Uruguay in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, Norway in North Carolina, and Croatia in Virginia. 

With FIFA’s base camp designation seemingly around the corner, the interest in the World Cup continues to build. FIFA announced it received 500 million ticket requests in the latest ticket draw. Fans will be notified of the outcome of their ticket applications by email no earlier than Feb. 5. Less than 1% of the applications submitted will be accepted, WFAA analysis showed. 

The FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11, where host nation Mexico takes on South Africa. The first match in DFW will be the Netherlands vs. Japan on June 14.
