NASHVILLE, TN – The 2026 FIFA World Cup is almost here! Japan are using Nashville SC's training center as their basecamp during the tournament, setting up at the Antioch facility between matches in Dallas and Monterrey.

On Monday night, hours after arriving in Nashville, the Samurai Blue hosted an open training in front of 5,000 fans at Geodis Park. While the session itself was light (it consisted of a few laps jogged around the pitch and some casual juggling), fans were able to snag autographs ahd photos with players afterwards.

SixOneFive Soccer's Christina Moore was on the sideline to capture the action.
