Preparing for a World Cup involves much more than training sessions and matches. The choice of accommodation is also part of the strategy, especially when the goal is to provide comfort, safety and ideal conditions for the athletes' performance. In 2026, the Brazilian national team will be staying at The Ridge Hotel, in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
The choice of accommodation was announced by CBF after FIFA's approval and took into account factors such as privacy, safety and proximity to the team's activity locations. Throughout the tournament, the hotel will be reserved exclusively for the delegation, functioning as an operations base for the Brazilian national team.
Located in the Basking Ridge area of New Jersey, The Ridge Hotel is less than an hour from New York city. The location was one of the main reasons for its selection, since the property is approximately 15 minutes from the team's training center and about 30 minutes from the MetLife Stadium

It is precisely at this stadium that Brazil will make its 2026 World Cup debut, in a match scheduled for June 13 against Morocco. The short distance between the team's main daily routine spots reduces commuting and contributes to more efficient logistics throughout the competition.
In addition to the physical structure, the level of privacy was a decisive factor in choosing The Ridge Hotel. Linked to Verizon's corporate operations, the property has more restricted access control than conventional hotels, reducing visitor circulation and guest exposure.

During the World Cup, the hotel will be fully reserved for the Brazilian delegation. The measure allows athletes, coaching staff and employees to carry out their activities with greater discretion and safety throughout the competition.
As for its structure, The Ridge Hotel has 171 accommodations. Its interiors follow a minimalist and contemporary aesthetic, marked by organized projects and the appreciation of natural materials. Instead of relying on decorative excess, the project favors a discreet and welcoming atmosphere.

The structure available to guests includes a gym, lobby, lounge, library and several spaces dedicated to meetings and events. In addition, the Brazilian delegation will have access to areas designed for physical recovery, a private spa and spaces prepared to meet the athletes' specific demands.

The projects of The Ridge Hotel were renovated in 2018 during an extensive overhaul led by Gensler, an international reference in architecture and design. The changes sought to create a direct connection with the Basking Ridge landscape. To achieve this, the project incorporated materials and finishes inspired by the region's nature.

Oak appears as a recurring element in the interiors, accompanied by details in aged bronze, polished brass and handcrafted rugs. The result is a discreet and welcoming atmosphere, aligned with the property's reserved profile.
Although it is often referred to as a town, Basking Ridge is actually a community belonging to the Township of Bernards, in Somerset County, New Jersey. Despite its proximity to New York, the region is known for its wooded areas, large residential properties, and presence of business centers.

The calm and quiet projects contrast with the intensity that usually surrounds major sporting competitions. During the 2026 World Cup, this setting will serve as a base for the Brazilian national team, which will find a combination of infrastructure, discretion, and proximity to the tournament's main commitments.
