Which team will be based in Marietta during World Cup?

MARIETTA—When the FIFA World Cup kicks off this summer, one national squad will trade the global spotlight for the quiet suburbs of Cobb County. Soccer players representing Uzbekistan have chosen Marietta as their home base throughout the tournament, locking in the city as their training and accommodation hub for the duration of the competition.

The arrangement places Marietta at the center of Uzbekistan’s World Cup preparations, giving local fans a rare chance to watch an international team operate on their doorstep. City officials have yet to release details on which facilities the Uzbek squad will use, but the decision underscores the growing appeal of Greater Atlanta as a host region for elite soccer.

Uzbekistan’s stay is expected to bring a surge of visitors, media attention, and cultural exchange to the area, adding another layer of World Cup excitement to metro Atlanta.
