With 500 days to go until the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil, the excitement is building up.
This will be the first time the tournament is held in South America, and it promises to be a huge celebration of women’s football.
The tournament will take place from June 24, 2027, with 32 national teams competing in a global festival of football.
To mark this milestone, Brazil has unveiled some stunning artwork celebrating the eight host cities.
These artworks were created by Brazilian female artists who drew inspiration from the cities and football culture.
The street art was displayed along Rio de Janeiro’s famous Avenida Atlântica, showing off the unique ways each city celebrates football.
The artists behind these illustrations are Massuelen Cristina (Belo Horizonte), Izzy Credo (Brasília), Terezadequinta (Fortaleza), Carla Barth (Porto Alegre), Bella Galvão (Recife), Paula Cruz (Rio de Janeiro), Aju Paraguassu (Salvador), and Aline Bispo (São Paulo).
Each of them shared their thoughts on how football connects with the people in their cities and how it brings them joy and pride.
For example, Aju Paraguassu, who created designs for Salvador, said it felt like scoring a goal in a packed stadium.
She was excited to be part of something so special. Aline Bispo, who worked on the São Paulo artwork, mentioned how football is everywhere in the city, even on the sidewalks in people’s homes.
Bella Galvão, from Recife, shared how the local culture, music, and colors inspire her artwork, as football is a big part of life in the streets there.
This Women’s World Cup will be a historic moment for the sport, not just in Brazil, but for women’s football worldwide.
Brazil’s legendary footballer Marta expressed her pride in having the tournament in her home country, saying Brazil is ready to welcome the world with passion and excitement.
