The Brazil women's national football team is a super important team that represents Brazil in international women's football games. The team is managed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). They have played in every single one of the ten FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments. Their best result was finishing as the runner-up in 2007. They have also played in all ten Copa América Femenina tournaments.

Brazil played their very first game on July 22, 1986, against the United States. They lost that game 2–1.

The team earned third place in the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. They were also runners-up in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, where they lost to Germany in the final match.

The Brazilian women's team has won silver medals three times at the Olympic Games. These wins happened in 2004, 2008, and 2024.

Brazil is the most successful women's national team in South America. They have won eight out of the ten Copa América championships. Since 1999, they have been strong competitors for the World Cup title. They also finished as runners-up in the Women's U.S. Cup in 1998 and 1999.

Brazil will be the host country for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. This will be the first time that a South American country hosts this big tournament.

The History of Brazilian Women's Football

Even though the Brazilian Women's National Team is one of the best in the world today, there was a time when women were not even allowed to play football. In the early 1900s, women's football started to become popular in Brazil. Magazines even wrote about their achievements in local games.

However, some people believed football was only for men. This led to the sport becoming less popular for women. By the mid-1940s, during a period when Brazil had strict rules, women's football was completely banned.

The ban was put in place in 1941 by a government department. Football was seen as a male sport. Even during the ban, some women continued to play. Because of this, the National Sports Council had to make new rules to try and stop them. In 1965, another rule was made that stopped all women's sports in Brazil, not just football. This ban lasted until the late 1970s.

When the ban was lifted in 1979, women's football started to grow again. Many people supported the women's game, and it became a symbol of change in the country. An early professional women's football club called EC Radar was started in 1982. This club was very strong in the first Taça Brasil de Futebol Feminino tournaments. Its players also made up most of Brazil's team in early international tournaments like the 1986 Mundialito and the 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament. Many of these players were part of Brazil's first team at the very first 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup. In that tournament, Elane scored Brazil's first Women's World Cup goal on November 17, 1991.

Today, the national team has won the Copa América eight times. They have also reached the World Cup finals, where they were beaten by Germany. Just five years after their first official match in 1986, they won their first Copa América title. Only nine years after that, they were competing against the best teams in the world.

The Rise of Futebol Feminino

Brazil was the first country in Latin America to officially recognize futebol feminino (women's football). It was challenging to make the women's game popular because of traditional ideas about gender roles. However, things changed when the national team started playing on the international stage.

After women's football was included in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, the sport became much more admired. To build on this success, the State of São Paulo created a local competition called Paulistana. This competition aimed to find new talented players for the national team.

At first, some people tried to make women's football seem more "beautiful" for male fans, focusing on how players looked rather than their athletic skills. 1999 World Cup top scorer Sissi noticed this problem and decided to play overseas. Later, the introduction of the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino in 2013 helped bring Brazilian stars back to play in their home country.

Hosting the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup

Brazil will host the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. This is a historic event because it will be the first time this tournament is held in South America. As the host nation, Brazil automatically qualified to play in the tournament.

Team Identity

Nicknames for the Team

The Brazil women's national football team has a few cool nicknames:

• Seleção (which means "The National Squad")

• Verde-Amarela (meaning "Green-and-Yellow", after the colors of the Brazilian flag)

Team Kits and Crest

Kit Suppliers

Kit supplier	Period
Topper	1986–1991
Umbro	1991–1996
Nike	1997–present

The CBF requires that both the men's and women's national teams use the same kit manufacturer. Currently, Nike supplies their uniforms. The women's team crest does not have the five stars that represent the men's World Cup titles. This is to honor the women's team's own growing history, and they will only add stars based on their own achievements.
