Why Brazil 2027 matters
This is the first Women's World Cup ever held in South America. Brazil is one of the world's most passionate football nations, and the tournament expanding to 32 teams means more games, more nations, and more fans watching than ever before.
For women's football fans in the UK, Brazil 2027 is the biggest moment the game has seen. The WSL 2026/27 season running up to it, combined with a stacked transfer window and growing stadium attendances, means the sport arrives at the tournament in the best shape it has ever been.
