Women's World Cup 2027 stadiums: all host cities and venues in Brazil

The eight stadiums

FIFA uses non-commercial names in its host-city list: Arena Itaquera for Corinthians' Neo Química Arena in São Paulo, and Estádio Nacional for Brasília's Arena BRB Mané Garrincha. Capacities are the figures published by the stadium operators and reference sources; FIFA has not yet published tournament-configuration capacities, which are usually slightly lower.

Rio de Janeiro: the Maracanã

The Maracanã hosts the opening match — Brazil's first group game on June 24 — and the final on July 25, and is one of the four quarter-final venues and one of the two semi-final venues. It becomes only the third stadium to have staged both a men's and a women's World Cup final, after the 1950 men's final was played there. FIFA said in August 2026 that more than 800,000 people had registered interest in tickets.

São Paulo and Brasília: the other knockout hubs

Arena Itaquera in São Paulo hosts Brazil's second group match on June 29, a quarter-final, one semi-final and the third-place match on July 24. Brasília's Estádio Nacional, the Mané Garrincha, hosts Brazil's third group match on July 4 and a round-of-16 tie.

Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Salvador and Recife

The Mineirão in Belo Horizonte and the Castelão in Fortaleza join Rio and São Paulo as quarter-final venues. Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre, Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador and Arena de Pernambuco in Recife (in São Lourenço da Mata, outside the city) host group matches and one round-of-16 tie each. Every host city therefore gets at least one knockout match.

Stadiums with World Cup history

All eight venues hosted matches at the 2014 men's World Cup, and several were rebuilt or heavily renovated for it: the Estádio Nacional in Brasília, Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador and Arena de Pernambuco in Recife were new or completely reconstructed for 2014, while the Maracanã, Mineirão, Castelão and Beira-Rio were modernised. Arena Itaquera in São Paulo staged the 2014 opening match. The Maracanã also hosted the 2016 Olympic football finals and the 1950 World Cup's deciding match, so the 2027 final will be its third World Cup final. No stadium needs to be built for 2027, and FIFA's inspections since 2024 have concentrated on pitches, floodlighting, broadcast facilities and accessibility rather than structural work.

Travelling between the host cities

Brazil is a continent-sized host: Porto Alegre in the far south and Fortaleza and Recife in the north-east are more than 3,000 km apart, so all inter-city travel for teams and most fans is by air. The venues fall into three loose clusters — the south-east (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte), the centre (Brasília) and the north-east (Fortaleza, Recife, Salvador) — with Porto Alegre on its own in the south. All eight cities are on Brasília time (UTC−3), and Brazil no longer observes daylight saving, so kick-off conversions are the same everywhere. June and July are winter months: mild in the south-east and south, warm and dry in the north-east.

Which stadiums are not included

Four 2014 World Cup venues were left out of the eight: Manaus, Cuiabá, Curitiba and Natal. FIFA and the Brazilian federation confirmed the eight in 2025. No new stadiums are being built for the tournament.
