How Atlas Prepares Its Facilities for the 2026 World Cup
Atlas is set to host international teams preparing for the 2026 World Cup at its state-of-the-art facilities. The Academy AGA, inaugurated two years ago, features cutting-edge technology and has gained recognition for its architectural excellence, winning seven awards. Aníbal Fajer, the president of Atlas, expressed pride in welcoming the Mexican National Team and other qualified teams.
Facilities Ready for World Cup Teams
The facilities at Atlas provide essential training grounds. With six FIFA-standard pitches, including two synthetic grass fields, Atlas is fully equipped to support a national team during the 2026 World Cup.
Strategic Preparations and Agreements
- The infrastructure will accommodate one team at a time.
- Only minor commercial adjustments are needed, as Atlas has designed its facilities specifically for World Cup training.
- An agreement with FIFA secures Atlas’s position as an alternative training location.
Fajer reassured that potential changes in ownership will not hinder their capability to host teams. Even if multiple teams express interest, FIFA has protocols to manage such situations. Atlas is dedicated to providing a suitable environment for teams preparing for their crucial matches.
Upcoming Repechage Matches
In March 2026, two crucial matches will determine additional teams for the World Cup. New Caledonia and Bolivia are confirmed participants and may hold their training sessions in Guadalajara or Monterrey.
Fajer remains optimistic about welcoming these teams to the Atlas facilities. He emphasized their readiness to assist any qualified teams looking to prepare for their upcoming challenges. The Academy stands proud as a top choice for teams needing high-quality training facilities.
