Brazil Women's Team to play at Neo Química Arena during 2027 World Cup

The Brazil women's national team will return to the Neo Química Arena during the 2027 Women's World Cup. FIFA has officially released the tournament schedule, confirming that the Brazilian side will play its second group stage match at the stadium in São Paulo on June 29, 2027.

The venue holds positive memories for the team. In recent years, the Brazilian women's squad has built an impressive record at the stadium, securing six victories in their last seven matches there. Their only defeat came in 2016 during the bronze medal match of the Rio Olympic Games against Canada, after which the team has remained unbeaten at the ground.

The most recent appearance at the arena took place in June 2026, where Brazil achieved a comeback 2-1 victory against the United States in a friendly match. Across these appearances, the team has scored 27 goals and conceded only eight.

The stadium is set to play a significant role in the tournament, as it will host ten matches in total, the highest number among all host cities. The schedule covers games from all stages of the competition, including knockout rounds. Although it will not host the opening match, its status as a central venue for the 2027 tournament is firmly established.
