CBF orders 31‑day football pause in Brazil for 2027 Women’s World Cup

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has issued a mandatory “stop” of all professional football competitions in Brazil from 24 June to 25 July 2027, a 31‑day interruption that covers the men’s Serie A and B, the Copa do Brasil and the women’s leagues. The pause is required to make the eight stadiums selected for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup – Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Recife, Fortaleza, Salvador, Brasília and Porto Alegre – available to FIFA weeks before the tournament for preparations and security. The World Cup will feature 32 national teams playing 64 matches, and FIFA’s operations director Thiago Jannuzzi said the goal is to exceed two million spectators, with more than 730 000 people already registered to buy tickets, about half from Brazil and half from abroad. CBF is still working on the detailed 2027 calendar to accommodate the pause and its impact on club revenues and scheduling.
