Atlanta United FC's training complex in Marietta is set to play a significant role during the 2026 FIFA World Cup as it will host the Uzbekistan national team. This prestigious opportunity comes after Atlanta United FC invested $25 million to enhance its training facilities, making it the only official home base in Georgia for a national team during the tournament. Uzbekistan, currently ranked 50th in the world, will arrive in June, marking their first-ever World Cup appearance. Dimitrios Efstathiou, Atlanta United FC's Senior Vice President of Strategy, expressed excitement about hosting such a competitive team. The facility will serve as a logistical hub for the players and their staff, who will commute between the training fields and the official FIFA Hotel Center in Buckhead. The Marietta complex will exclusively accommodate the Uzbekistani team throughout the group stage, with plans to host other advancing teams during the knockout rounds. Atlanta United FC's training ground is poised to welcome some of the best teams in the world, showcasing the club's commitment to excellence in soccer infrastructure.
