Neo Química Arena to offer women's support during Women's World Cup | OneFootball

Neo Química Arena, one of the eight host venues for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, is expected to receive a special support and assistance structure for women during the tournament. The initiative is part of the SP For All Women program, coordinated by the São Paulo State Government’s Secretariat for Women’s Policies, and aims to offer support to female fans and other women present on matchdays.

The structure will be set up in an adapted bus, equipped with spaces for psychological, social, and legal assistance. At the site, specialized teams will provide guidance on women’s rights, reporting channels, protective measures, and referrals of violence cases to the appropriate authorities, if necessary.

The implementation of the service still depends on FIFA’s official confirmation of the competition schedule, which will allow the São Paulo government to organize the logistics for operating the structure during the World Cup. In addition to in-person assistance, the state is also studying the expansion of other measures aimed at protecting women during the tournament.

These include the expansion of the Don’t Stay Silent Protocol, an initiative aimed at combating violence against women in public and private spaces, and the strengthening of the promotion of the SP Safe Woman app, a tool that brings together guidance services and access to protection channels.

To coordinate actions related to the event, the São Paulo government recently created the State Committee for the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The group brings together representatives from 11 state secretariats and strategic agencies, including Public Security, Tourism, Health, Metropolitan Transport, Justice and Citizenship, as well as Metrô, CPTM, and Artesp, with a focus on planning infrastructure, mobility, security, and support during the competition.

The 2027 Women’s World Cup will be played between June 24 and July 25 and will mark the first edition of the tournament held in South America. In addition to Neo Química Arena in São Paulo, matches will also be hosted at Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro), Mineirão (Belo Horizonte), Mané Garrincha (Brasília), Arena Castelão (Fortaleza), Arena Fonte Nova (Salvador), Beira-Rio (Porto Alegre), and Arena Pernambuco (Recife).
