Brazil will host the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup!
This is exciting news for women’s soccer worldwide, and especially for Brazil and South America.
It’s the first time the tournament will be held on this continent, and Brazil’s selection as host for the 2027 Women’s World Cup represents a major step forward for the promotion of the sport in the region.
Brazil’s victory was met with great joy by the government and the Brazilian people. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expressed his “great satisfaction” with the decision, and iconic player Marta, six-time world’s best soccer player, said both Brazil and South America “deserved” to host the tournament.
Brazil’s win in the vote, with 119 votes, over the joint bid from Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, shows strong support and confidence in Brazil’s proposal. Using the existing infrastructure from the 2014 Men’s World Cup is a smart way to leverage the country’s resources and prior experience in hosting major sporting events.
Let’s hope this World Cup serves as a catalyst for the success and visibility of women’s soccer, and who knows—maybe Brazil can win its first title in this edition. It will be a tournament to remember!
The 2027 Women’s World Cup will be played in 10 of the 12 stadiums built for the 2014 Men’s World Cup. The final will be held at the legendary Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
This event will be an incredible opportunity for Brazil to showcase its passion for women’s soccer to the world. The tournament is expected to have a positive impact on the development of the sport in the country and across the region.
Here are some additional details about the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup:
- Dates: The exact dates of the tournament have not yet been announced, but it is expected to take place in the second half of 2027.
- Teams: A total of 32 teams will participate in the tournament. Brazil will automatically qualify as the host country. The other teams will qualify through continental tournaments.

I’m confident the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be a great success. It will be an opportunity to celebrate the best women’s soccer in the world and inspire the next generation of players.
Long live women’s soccer!
