Brazil Advances Comprehensive Preparation for 2027 Women's World Cup

Brazil is intensifying its preparations to host the 2027 Women's World Cup with a multi-sectoral governance structure and active collaboration among government officials, sports entities, and civil society. On March 27, 2026, Juliana Agatte, the extraordinary secretary for the event, met with Reinaldo Carneiro Bastos, president of the Federação Paulista de Futebol, in São Paulo to discuss organizational efforts and legacy-building for women's football in Brazil.

This meeting is part of a broader engagement strategy that includes sessions in both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, involving over 25 ministries through thematic chambers aimed at establishing a National Legacy Plan. The focus is on improving professionalization, athlete conditions, and stadium safety to foster a more inclusive environment.

Discussions additionally addressed critical infrastructure components such as urban mobility, security, and stadium readiness. The government is also coordinating closely with FIFA to align tournament expectations and legacy objectives. Planned technical visits in late April will further advance implementation of these action plans.

Agatte highlighted the importance of this collaborative approach in creating a sustainable legacy reflective of women’s experiences in football, ensuring a transformative impact on the sport nationwide. The Brazilian government views the 2027 Women's World Cup not only as a major sporting event but also as a strategic opportunity to strengthen women’s football and promote sports inclusivity across the country.
