The Brazilian women’s national team announced this Monday their opponents for the first friendlies of 2026. The Canarinhas will face Costa Rica, Venezuela, and Mexico between the end of February and the beginning of March, during the first FIFA window of the year. These matches are part of the preparations for the 2027 World Cup, which will be held in Brazil.
“It is very important for us to have these three matches during this FIFA window. We will face teams that are rapidly developing in women’s football, with different playing styles, which brings us challenges that are important for the planning and preparation process of the Brazilian National Team for this year and also with an eye on the 2027 World Cup in Brazil,” highlighted Cris Gambaré, coordinator of Women’s National Teams at the CBF.
The first match for the team will be against Costa Rica, on February 27, at 10 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Alejandro Morena Soto Stadium in Alajuela. Next, Brazil will face Venezuela at 8 p.m. on March 4, at the Mexican Football Federation Training Center in Toluca.
To close out the first FIFA window of the year, the Brazilians will face Mexico at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, in Mexico City, on March 7, at 8 p.m.
In addition to these commitments, the women’s national team already has matches scheduled for April. Canada, Zambia, and South Korea will be the opponents for the FIFA Series, at a location yet to be determined.
