Brazil to host 2027 Women's World Cup with Maracanã hosting opening and final

FIFA has released the official schedule and host city details for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. The tournament will feature 32 national teams and consist of 64 matches distributed across eight host cities: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Salvador, and Recife.

The Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro has been selected to host both the opening match on June 24, 2027, and the tournament final on July 25, 2027. As the host nation, Brazil is automatically qualified and will compete in Group A. The Brazilian team's group stage matches are scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo (Neo Química Arena), and Brasília (Mané Garrincha).

Regarding qualification, 18 teams have already secured spots. The remaining 14 positions will be determined through continental qualifiers and an intercontinental playoff. The first phase of the playoff will involve six teams—Uzbekistan, Chinese Taipei, South Africa, Papua New Guinea, Ghana, and Ecuador—competing for a chance to advance to the final qualifying stage in early 2027.
