Gareth Southgate’s side are staying on the outskirts of Doha, but the majority of teams at the tournament are training close together in the city.

Fast forward four years to the next World Cup, teams are likely to be staying in different time zones altogether to each other.

The 2026 edition will be held across USA, Mexico and Canada, which will see nations based hours away from each other.

Qatar on the other hand has three-quarters of the competing countries within a tiny radius.

Some sides are separated by just a matter of feet, with hosts Qatar, Ghana and Australia ALL training at the incredible Aspire Academy.

The state-funded centre was founded in 2004 to develop and nurture talent from Qatar.

The three countries are staying at different hotels but all three nations training at the same centre could heighten fears of training ground ‘spies’.

Fortunately the three sides are all in different groups so treading on each other’s toes is unlikely to be a problem unless they reach the latter stages of the tournament.
