Alligators and snakes near training camps, 2026 World Cup teams face unusual challenges

Unusual phenomena continue to accompany the teams participating in the 2026 World Cup, as international media reports on the presence of wild animals near the training centers of several national teams.

According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, three alligators have been spotted near the Portugal national team's training camp in Miami. The report notes that the field where the team trains is located next to a lake, an area where these reptiles have often been seen, forcing authorities and technical staff to warn footballers to be careful while they are there.

However, Portugal is not the only national team to have faced such situations. The Norwegian national team has received warnings about the presence of snakes, crocodiles and other potentially dangerous wild animals near its training camp in North Carolina. This situation has caused concern within the Norwegian delegation.

The Swiss national team has also faced a similar problem. Local authorities have warned of the presence of rattlesnakes in the areas around their training grounds in San Diego, forcing team officials to review safety procedures and take additional measures to protect players.

These incidents have raised growing questions about environmental conditions and safety standards at training centers selected for teams participating in the 2026 World Cup, especially in some regions of the United States where wildlife is part of local daily life.
