Scotland to train in Charlotte during the FIFA World Cup

Three national teams will call North Carolina home during this summer's FIFA World Cup.

Why it matters: The FIFA World Cup will be the biggest event of the year for both casual soccer fans and diehards alike. It will also put a global spotlight on North America.

The latest: Scotland is the latest team to choose North Carolina as its World Cup base camp. Charlotte FC's Atrium Health Performance Park will serve as Scotland's training site.

Zoom out: While North Carolina will not host any tournament matches, Germany and Norway will train in the Tar Heel State, along with Scotland.

Germany, a powerhouse that has won the World Cup multiple times, will train at Wake Forest in Winston-Salem and will stay at the Graylyn Estate.

Norway and Manchester City star Erling Haaland will be based in Greensboro (location TBD).

What's next: The tournament runs June 11-July 19.

What we're watching: Teams are still deciding where to call home during the tournament. England, for instance, recently chose Kansas City. In the past, national teams have used the Charlotte 49ers' training facilities.

The 49ers did not respond to Axios' request for comment.
