Where will Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal stay during 2026 World Cup?
Portugal are drawn in Group K of the 2026 World Cup.
For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo is travelling to the party capital of Mexico, despite most of their games scheduled to be played in the USA.
Roberto Martinez’s team is strongly favoured to win Group K, which consists of Colombia, Uzbekistan, and one of the DR Congo, Jamaica, or New Caledonia.
Additionally, FIFA plans to confirm that the nearby Mayakoba Training Centre in Cancun and the opulent Fairmont Mayakoba resort would serve as the tournament’s base.
For a squad hoping to go all the way and win their first World Cup, the decision to travel to Mexico’s wildest city may initially appear strange.
Where will Portugal stay ahead of the 2026 World Cup?
After all, Cancun is known for its extravagant nightclubs, party culture, and popularity as a destination for Spring Break vacations—as opposed to pure hard work, concentrated devotion, and top-tier athletics.
There are currently 1 million people living there, but during the summer, that number might rise by 200%, with an additional 2 million visitors anticipated for the five weeks of the World Cup.
Portugal are set to play two games in Houston to start their World Cup campaign. Then they finish Group K in Miami.
If they go to the final as anticipated, they would play games in Kansas City, Vancouver, Kansas City once more, and Atlanta before concluding on the outskirts of New York despite no games in Mexico.
On closer examination, though, Cancun appears to be the ideal choice and makes a lot of sense.
It is about the same distance between the two cities where they have guaranteed matches, even though it is across the Gulf of Mexico. It takes one hour and fifty minutes to fly north-east to Miami and two hours and ten minutes to fly north-west to Houston.
Additionally, despite its notoriety, Cancun won’t be very crowded for the World Cup because Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara are the three stadiums used in Mexico.
Where will Portugal players reside for the World Cup?
They will stay in the capital of Mexico.
Which group are the Selecao in?
They are in group K.
Will they play any games in Mexico?
No, most of their games will be played in the USA.
