CBF announces new break in the Brazilian football calendar | OneFootball

National competitions will be paused during the Women's World Cup in 2027

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is organizing itself for the Women's World Cup, which will take place in 2027. For the first time in history, the competition will be held on Brazilian soil. Therefore, the entity has decided that national competitions will be paused during the tournament.

“During the 2027 World Cup, Brazil's calendar will stop, including the men's. So, it's a very good opportunity because those who are consuming football will be consuming women's football,” stated Marina Figueiredo, coordinator of projects for the Brazilian Women's Teams, during a presentation at Conafut (National Football Conference) on Friday (08).

The World Cup will be held from June 24 to July 25, 2027, in Brazil. Thus, both men's and women's competitions will be paused for a month. Additionally, training centers of Brazilian clubs are also expected to be used by the participating teams.

WHY PAUSE THE COMPETITIONS?

The national championships will be paused as stadiums in eight host cities will be handed over to FIFA for the World Cup. They are: Mineirão (Belo Horizonte), Mané Garrincha (Brasília), Neo Química Arena (São Paulo), Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro), Beira-Rio (Porto Alegre), Arena de Pernambuco (Recife), Fonte Nova (Salvador), and Castelão (Fortaleza).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming commitments of the season. This Saturday (09), Filipe Luís's team faces Mirassol at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla provides the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media.
