Team USA will arrive in Tourcoing this summer to prepare for their meetings in the first round of Group C (with Serbia, South Sudan, and the winner of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Puerto Rico) which will take place at the Pierre Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve d'Ascq.

Team USA has set its sights on a training center in particular, which is located 15 kilometers away: the Kipstadium in Tourcoing, a city in northern France on the Belgian border.

While the Contact Pevele arena in the area of Orchies was also considered as an option, per the same source, it was ultimately Team Canada who reserved the arena on their behalf. Team USA will be housed in Lille, around 15 kilometers from the Kipstadium. All their movements and training will be highly monitored and protected.

The tournament's final stage will take place in the Accor Arena in Bercy, Paris.
