Germany's national soccer team has chosen Wake Forest University as their official training site for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team will use Spry Soccer Stadium for practice sessions and stay at the historic Graylyn Estate in Winston-Salem.
The 2026 World Cup will be held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. While no games will be played in Winston-Salem, the German team's presence will give local fans access to world-class soccer.
"Hosting the German men's national team as they prepare for the World Cup is an honor and will bring immeasurable exposure to Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem," said Tony da Luz, Wake Forest's head women's soccer coach. The university promoted Spry Soccer Stadium as a world-class facility.
The partnership between Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, and the German Football Association will create memorable experiences for the local community. Germany is a four-time World Cup winner and consistently ranks among the world's top soccer nations.
This brings international attention and tourism money to Winston-Salem. Local soccer fans will get a rare chance to watch a top World Cup team practice up close before the tournament.
Training schedule and public viewing opportunities will be announced as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
