FIFA has revealed a series of artistic posters to celebrate the eight Brazilian cities that will host matches during the Women’s World Cup in 2027. Each poster was created by local artists who were invited to illustrate cultural symbols and their connection to football, providing a unique representation of each city. The announcement took place on January 25 at an event in Rio de Janeiro, where attendees participated in the creation of these art pieces.
The cities featured in the posters include Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and São Paulo. This initiative not only highlights the artistic talents of local women but also strengthens the relationship between culture and sports in Brazil, especially considering the country’s passion for football as a vital part of its identity. The artists involved, such as Massuelen Cristina and Izzy Credo, each contributed their unique perspective, resulting in a rich and diverse set of illustrations reflecting their cities' heritage.
The decision to host the Women's World Cup in Brazil, announced in May 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand, marks a significant milestone for the country, showcasing its ability to host major international sporting events. This event is expected to bring economic benefits and increased global attention to Brazil’s cultural and sporting landscape as the nation prepares to welcome fans and players from around the world to celebrate women's football.
