Colombia trains – Colombia’s men’s national team will train on Sporting KC’s turf in Kansas City and stay near the Country Club Plaza ahead of its Thursday night match against Ghana at Kansas City Stadium.
Kansas City is getting a World Cup-sized detour this week.
Colombia’s men’s national soccer team has arrived in the Kansas City area as it prepares for its next World Cup match, with the team’s media schedule placing training, lodging, and pregame plans all within the metro.
The team is scheduled to travel from South Florida to Kansas City on Wednesday, July 1, after a training session at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. Once it reaches the area, the itinerary includes planned media availability, though the details are listed as to be confirmed.
The on-field stop is Sporting KC’s home turf. Colombia’s Kansas City-area schedule lists Sporting KC Stadium in Kansas City, Kansas, as the team’s training venue. The team hotel is set to be Marriott Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. Missouri—an address that puts the squad close to the busy energy of the Plaza as the countdown to kickoff begins.
The match itself is set for Thursday night. Colombia is scheduled to play Ghana at 8:30 p.m. local time on July 3 in Kansas City at Kansas City Stadium.
The sequence of stops is tight and clear: Inter Miami’s training grounds in Fort Lauderdale. a July 1 arrival in Kansas City. a training session at Sporting KC Stadium. a stay at Marriott Country Club Plaza. and then the Ghana match at 8:30 p.m. local time July 3. The team’s time in town is brief. but the itinerary suggests a well-mapped routine—arrive. lock in training. handle media. and prepare to play.

Kansas City really getting a whole World Cup detour huh.
So they’re training on Sporting KC turf and staying at some Marriott by the Plaza… cool I guess. I just hope they don’t get stuck in Plaza traffic lol.
Wait it says Colombia is staying in Missouri but the Plaza is in KC proper right? Like Missouri sounds wrong unless they mean Kansas City, MO vs KS. Also Ghana vs Colombia at 8:30 Thursday… is that at Sporting KC Stadium or Kansas City Stadium? People keep mixing up those stadium names.
Inter Miami to Kansas City to practice on the Sporting KC field… that itinerary sounds like something they planned for influencers or media, not actual football. Like why are they training so close to kickoff if they’re “locked in”?? Anyway I’m rooting for whoever’s not tired from traveling.
