Brazil prepares for 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup
Preparations for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil are advancing through legislative action and volunteer recruitment. The Brazilian National Congress has approved laws to facilitate the tournament, including the General Law of the Women's World Cup and measures allowing host cities to grant service tax (ISS) exemptions to organizing companies. While supporters argue the event will stimulate tourism and infrastructure, critics have questioned the long-term economic legacy.
FIFA has officially opened applications for 6,000 volunteer positions across eight host cities: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and São Paulo. Volunteers will support over 30 roles in areas such as media, technology, transport, and ceremonies. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, proficient in Portuguese or English, and legally authorized to be in Brazil.
In Rio de Janeiro, negotiations are underway for a R$ 2.5 million renovation of the Maracanã Stadium's Honor Tribune, proposed by the Fla-Flu Consortium to meet tournament requirements.
