The Festival opens on Thursday with the screening of the documentary The First Ones by Adriana Yañez, which traces the journey of the pioneers of the Brazilian Women's National Team and pays tribute to the athletes. Following this, there will be a discussion and the inauguration of the exhibition Women in the Football Museum's collection, curated by the Brazilian Football Reference Center (CRFB) from images of women in the Football Museum's collection.

The program continues with the International Competitive Showcase, bringing together short and feature films from Brazil, Germany, Argentina, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and a Philippines/USA co-production, along with special sessions dedicated to referees, the Brazilian Blind Football Team, and a tribute to filmmaker Laís Bodanzky, who will participate in a discussion with actress and filmmaker Bruna Linzmeyer.

Among the highlights is the round table Lighthouse of Women's Football, which will bring together women active in institutional, media, and professional sports areas to share experiences and discuss prospects for the 2027 Women's World Cup, which will be held in Brazil.
