A Copa do Mundo feminina de 2027, que será disputada no Brasil de 24 de junho a 25 de julho, terá apenas oito cidades-sede. Conforme antecipado pelo blog Carlota, o pedido foi feito pelo governo federal à Fifa para diminuir os custos da operação do megaevento. As oito escolhidas foram: Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Salvador, Recife e Fortaleza. Das 12 postulantes a receber jogos das 32 seleções, quatro ficaram de fora: Manaus, Belém, Cuiabá e Natal.
O anúncio foi feito pelo presidente da Fifa, Gianni Infantino, em suas redes sociais. Em português, ele parabenizou as cidades brasileiras escolhidas, enalteceu o país sede e agradeceu a todas as concorrentes.
“Tenho a alegria de compartilhar que as oito cidades-sede selecionadas para receber a Copa do Mundo Feminina da FIFA 2027 🇧🇷 após um processo criterioso e competitivo são: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador e São Paulo. Parabéns a todos os envolvidos nessas cidades e um grande agradecimento a Belém, Cuiabá, Manaus e Natal — a escolha foi muito difícil, pois todas as candidaturas apresentaram um nível excepcional. Uma jornada empolgante e inesquecível nos espera e, com o futebol feminino se unindo pela primeira vez na América do Sul graças ao Brasil, estou entusiasmado para trabalhar junto com todas as cidades para fazer desta uma experiência memorável, que tenha um impacto positivo e duradouro”.
A decisão teve caráter técnico conforme o menor investimento possível. Tanto o governo federal quanto a Fifa querem evitar grandes gastos com o Mundial, que será sediado na América do Sul pela primeira vez. Sedes que precisariam de mais intervenções nos estádios ou em outros equipamentos foram limadas.
Outro fator considerado foi a infraestrutura das cidades. Aquelas capazes de receber várias seleções países ao mesmo tempo — desde a edição de 2023, o Mundial feminino aumentou de tamanho e é disputado por 32 equipes. Por isso, cidades com maior capacidade hoteleira, de transporte e estrutura de treinamento levaram vantagem.
Visitas técnicas
Todas as 12 cidades receberam visitas técnicas dos comissários da Fifa desde o ano passado. Eles avaliaram os estádios concorrentes, indicaram as melhorias a serem feitas e ajustaram as necessidades, como a suspensão do uso dos naming rights e dos aluguéis de camarotes durante o período da competição. Além de infraestrutura técnica, hoteleira, transportes e aeroportos de cada local.
Havia grande expectativa por parte das cidades do Norte. No caderno da candidatura, a CBF havia enviado o projeto com dez sedes, incluindo Manaus e Cuiabá. Inclusive, com a ideia do jogo de abertura e da final serem no Maracanã. Mas, em setembro passado, mais duas capitais entraram na briga: Belém e Natal.
No fim, a infraestrutura das cidades mais desenvolvidas no futebol — masculino e feminino — pesou na escolha. O argumento das candidatas de levar a maior competição da modalidade para perto dos povos originários não foi suficiente.
Seleções participantes
No fim de 2024, a Fifa anunciou como serão distribuídas as 32 vagas no Mundial. Ao todo, 29 serão garantidas de forma direta — o Brasil já está garantido por ser país sede. As três restantes serão definidas em um torneio playoff disputado por 10 equipes entre novembro de 2026 e fevereiro de 2027.
A divisão das vagas por continente:
- AFC (Ásia): seis vagas diretas
- CAF (África): quatro vagas diretas
- Concacaf (América do Norte e Central): quatro vagas diretas
- Conmebol (América do Sul): três vagas diretas mais a vaga do Brasil, garantida automaticamente por ser o país sede
- OFC (Oceania): uma vaga direta
- Uefa (Europa): 11 vagas diretas
Torneio playoff
O torneio contará com 10 equipes e será disputado em duas fases:
- Duas vagas para a Ásia
- Duas vagas para a África
- Duas vagas para a Concacaf (ambas as equipes se classificam automaticamente para a segunda fase pelo desempenho na Copa do Mundo Feminina 2023)
- Duas vagas para a CONMEBOL (o time melhor classificado segundo o Ranking Mundial Feminino da Fifa se classificará automaticamente para a segunda fase em virtude da classificação do Brasil como país sede)
- Uma vaga para a Oceania
- Uma vaga para a Uefa (classificado automaticamente para a segunda fase pelo desempenho na Copa do Mundo Feminina da FIFA 2023)
A primeira fase acontecerá entre novembro e dezembro de 2026 em local a ser definido com seis equipes classificadas com base no último Ranking Mundial Feminino da Fifa antes do sorteio do playoff.
As duas melhores equipes se classificam à fase final, que será disputada em fevereiro de 2027. Os times se juntarão a duas seleções da Concacaf, uma da Conmebol e uma da Uefa. O sorteio definirá três duelos, com uma partida eliminatória direta que vai determinar as três últimas classificadas ao Mundial. Equipes da mesma confederação não poderão ser sorteadas no mesmo confronto.

A reality that others are constantly trying to distort because you either made their day or ruined it by living your life.AdvertisementIt’s why, after his losing turnover to end Game 2, Tatum threw himself under the bus.

Broncos’ RJ Harvey eager to make a needed ‘immediate impact’ on run game
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The jump cut was sharper than a cleaver. It left Jahdae Barron grabbing for air and searching for an answer.So the Denver Broncos’ first-round pick stood on the seat of an empty locker after Saturday’s rookie minicamp practice and hoisted himself above a crowd of media members gathered around rookie running back RJ Harvey. Barron turned on his phone’s camera, waited for an opening and lobbed a query of his own at his new teammate.Advertisement“Why did you juke Jahdae today with that move at practice?” Barron asked.When the Broncos selected Harvey with the 60th pick in last month’s draft, coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton were asked to project Harvey’s potential impact as a pass catcher after being used relatively little in that role at Central Florida.

Should the New Orleans Saints sign Aaron Rodgers after Derek Carr’s shocking retirement?
With Derek Carr officially retiring after 11 NFL seasons, the New Orleans Saints are suddenly in quarterback chaos-and fans are asking the question on everyone's mind: Is it time to bring in Aaron Rodgers?Carr, plagued by a lingering shoulder injury, opted to walk away from the game rather than undergo surgery that would sideline him for the entire 2025 season. His exit leaves the Saints with a gaping hole at QB, no clear starter, and plenty of questions about the future of the franchise.That's where Rodgers comes in-at least in theory. The four-time MVP has been flirting with a 2025 return, and while the Steelers have long been considered favorites to land him, New Orleans might just throw its hat in the ring. But is that the right move?Rodgers is a short-term solution, Shough is a toss-upFor some, signing Rodgers […]
