The England national football team has started its stay at the Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Missouri, as they prepare for their first Group L match against Croatia.

英格蘭國家足球隊已開始入住密蘇里州堪薩斯市的 Swope Soccer Village，準備迎接與克羅埃西亞的 L 組首場比賽。

The team chose Kansas City as its main base to make travel easier and reduce the time spent moving between different match venues across North America. Although the Football Association (FA) did not get to pick their first choice of facilities, manager Thomas Tuchel stated that the Swope Soccer Village is suitable. The players are staying at the Inn at Meadowbrook, where the staff is focusing on building strong relationships and a sense of 'brotherhood' among the team. This approach aims to recreate the team spirit seen in previous winning teams, such as Argentina in 2022.

球隊選擇堪薩斯市作為主基地，是為了讓旅程更便捷，並減少在北美不同比賽場館之間移動的時間。雖然英格蘭足球總會（FA）未能獲得首選的設施，但總教練圖赫爾（Thomas Tuchel）表示 Swope Soccer Village 是合適的。球員入住 Inn at Meadowbrook，工作人員目前專注於建立良好關係，並在隊伍中營造一種「兄弟情誼」。這種做法旨在複製先前奪冠球隊的團隊精神，例如 2022 年的阿根廷隊。

However, there were some problems when moving equipment from Florida to Missouri. About $18,000 worth of items, including signed jerseys, shoes, and electronics, were stolen from transport vehicles. Fortunately, the police recovered most of the items and arrested two men, Mustafa Salik and Erfan Kamal, on felony charges. The FA and the players emphasized that these losses were not important, asserting that no essential game equipment was permanently lost.

然而，在將設備從佛羅里達搬運至密蘇里時出現了一些問題。價值約 18,000 美元的物品，包括簽名球衣、球鞋和電子產品，從運輸車中被盜。幸運的是，警方找回了大部分物品，並以重罪起訴逮捕了兩名男子 Mustafa Salik 和 Erfan Kamal。英足總和球員強調這些損失並不重要，並聲稱沒有任何關鍵的比賽設備永久遺失。

Additionally, the team had to deal with security and weather issues. Initial worries about the openness of the training site were solved by hiring armed security guards. Furthermore, the region experienced severe weather, including a tornado warning and strong winds, which forced the FIFA Fan Fest to close early and kept players indoors. Despite these challenges, the squad has continued its training schedule, having already used a camp in Florida to get used to the heat before arriving in the Midwest.

此外，球隊還必須處理安全與天氣問題。最初對訓練場地開放性的擔憂，透過聘請武裝保安人員得到了解決。此外，該地區經歷了惡劣天氣，包括龍捲風警告和強風，導致 FIFA Fan Fest 提前關閉，球員也必須留在室內。儘管面臨這些挑戰，球隊仍維持其訓練計劃，他們在抵達中西部之前，已先在佛羅里達的訓練營適應炎熱天氣。

England remains focused on their upcoming match against Croatia on June 17 in Arlington, Texas, now that their travel and security issues have been resolved.

既然旅程與安全問題已獲得解決，英格蘭隊現在將焦點集中在 6 月 17 日於德州阿靈頓與克羅埃西亞的比賽上。
