CBF announces new break in the Brazilian football calendar | OneFootball

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

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is organizing itself for the 2027 Women's World Cup, which will take place for the first time in Brazilian territory. Therefore, the entity has defined that national competitions will be suspended during the tournament.

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

The World Cup will take place between June 24th and July 25th, 2027, in Brazil. Thus, men's and women's competitions will be suspended for a month. In addition, Brazilian clubs' training centers of Brazilian clubs will also be used by participating teams.

WHY SUSPEND COMPETITIONS?

National championships will be suspended as stadiums in eight host cities will be ceded to FIFA for the World Cup. These 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'S FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitments of the season. This Saturday (09), Filipe Luís' team faces Mirassol at 18h30 (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla brings the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social networks.
