Chattanooga

Why Chattanooga?

Spain Made Chattanooga Home — Join the Neighborhood.

After a rigorous evaluation of facilities across North America, Spain chose Chattanooga — and it's easy to see why. Our city met every benchmark: elite training infrastructure, privacy, security, and seamless access to Atlanta match venues less than two hours away.

Named "The Friendliest City" in America by Condé Nast Traveler, Chattanooga is also ideally positioned as a Southeast hub for fans attending multiple World Cup matches. Stay here, explore here, and make the short drive or quick flight to games across the region. If you want to get more involved, our Community Welcome Guide has everything locals and businesses need to celebrate the moment and roll out the red carpet for visitors from around the world.

Whether you're here for a weekend or the entire group stage, the Scenic City delivers — world-class outdoor adventure, a booming food scene, and culture around every corner, all set against the natural beauty of the Tennessee River and Lookout Mountain
