# 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup – Brazil Impacts & Prep > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/brazil-womens-football-compensation-law > Updated: 2026-09-09T23:02:25.000Z. Sources: 432. Developments: 51. Preparations for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, scheduled for 24 June to 25 July, continue across eight host cities: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and São Paulo. Economic projections by FGV Projetos for Embratur estimate a $1.746 billion impact, contributing roughly $754 million to the national GDP and generating $893 million in wages and profits. This boost is expected to support 73,700 jobs. To ensure accessibility, the Brazilian government is negotiating with FIFA to secure a quota of affordable and social-priced tickets. Sports Minister Paulo Henrique Cordeiro noted these discussions aim to accommodate the broader Brazilian population. Public interest is high, with over 800,000 registrations of interest recorded since July. Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working to facilitate tourist entry. Industry professionalization remains a priority. The inaugural Women’s International Football Summit (WIFS) is scheduled for 14–15 September at the Museu do Amanhã in Rio de Janeiro. Organized by Confut and supported by the State Government of Rio de Janeiro, this B2B event will bring together clubs, federations, and professionals to discuss industry trends. Logistical coordination includes the Ministry of Education (MEC) regulating the 2027 school calendar. Approved by the National Council of Education, guidelines require mid-year breaks in the eight host states and approximately 174 surrounding municipalities to coincide with the tournament. This adjustment aims to facilitate urban mobility and allow students to follow matches while still fulfilling the legal requirement of 200 annual school days. ## Claims - The draw ceremony will be held on December 11, 2026, at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro.
