  • Team Argentina left Kansas City on Monday after staying nearly six weeks at Origin Hotel.
  • Argentina built a 14x24x13-foot communications studio at its Kansas City base camp.
  • The studio is listed on eBay for $40,000 and requires crane access.

This likely wouldn’t fit into a man cave, but it would make a unique addition to a home. More precisely, it would be a new part of a house.

Team Argentina left Kansas City on Monday after making its base camp here for nearly six weeks. The team stayed at the Origin Hotel and apparently built a communications studio that it just couldn’t take with it while traveling to Sunday’s World Cup final.

And, so, it could be yours if the price is right. And you have access to a crane.

The studio is available on eBay, which one would assume vets these types of items. It is 14 feet by 24 feet by 13 feet, and the cost is $40,000.

Here is the description from the listing for The Argentina Football Association Communications Studio-World Cup 2026:

“This studio was used by the communications team for the best team in the world! Lionel Messi and Team Argentina during their stay at the Origin Kansas City during the World Cup in 2026!

“The building is carpeted and has electrical! Some warping on the siding. Two sides that are up against the hotel do not currently have siding but can be easily added!

“All shipping and transportation is at the buyers cost. You will need a crane to lift onto a flat bed.”

Here are a couple of pictures from the listing.
