The favorites start the engines for the 2026 World Cup, Argentina, Brazil and England begin preparations

Just a few days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, the national teams competing for the trophy have entered the crucial phase of preparations, conducting intensive training sessions and important tests to reach optimal form.

Defending champions Argentina have officially kicked off their training camp in Kansas City, USA. Under coach Lionel Scaloni, the team has focused on tactical and physical aspects, while the main focus remains on captain Lionel Messi, who aims to lead the Albiceleste to another historic success on the world stage.

The Argentines' objective is clear: to defend the title won in Qatar and confirm themselves as one of the strongest national teams of the moment.

Meanwhile, Brazil has arrived in the United States with high ambitions to end its long wait for the World Cup trophy. The Selecao, led by Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, is relying on a new generation of players who aim to restore the glory of the five-time world champions.

One of the biggest news stories in the Brazilian camp is the return of Neymar. The striker continues to recover from the physical problems that have plagued him in recent months, but the technical staff remains optimistic that he will be ready for the opening match against Morocco.

England has also begun an intensive phase of preparations in Florida, where high temperatures are being used as a valuable test of the conditions the team may face during the tournament.

Coach Thomas Tuchel is paying special attention to the physical preparation and organization of the group, while important names such as Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon have been present at the training.

Experienced midfielder Jordan Henderson has stressed that England have a group with great potential and that the main objective is to arrive at the World Cup in the best possible condition.

As the countdown to the start of the World Cup continues, the favorites are making their final calculations and testing the strength of their teams. The atmosphere of the most prestigious tournament in world football is increasingly felt, while millions of fans around the globe eagerly await the start of the great spectacle.
