Liga F and São Paulo federation strengthen women's football ties ahead of 2027 World Cup

Liga F and São Paulo's football federation deepen collaboration through knowledge-sharing visits ahead of Brazil's 2027 Women's World Cup.

Spain's Liga F and Brazil's São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) have strengthened their partnership with a week of exchanges in Madrid and Barcelona. A Brazilian delegation led by FPF president Reinaldo Carneiro visited Liga F headquarters and toured Barcelona and Atlético Madrid's women's operations to study professional league structure, commercial strategy, governance, and match organization.

The visits built on a collaboration agreement signed in August, with both sides aiming to share knowledge and develop joint projects. Barcelona spent two days explaining its business model and women's team operations at Joan Gamper, while Atlético Madrid showcased its women's project evolution at Alcalá de Henares. The delegation also attended an Atlético Madrid vs Madrid CFF Liga F match to observe professional match procedures.

The partnership takes on added significance with Brazil hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup from June 24 to July 25, 2027, with São Paulo among eight host cities. Both organizations aim to use the exchange to strengthen Brazilian women's football structures, increase visibility, and identify concrete joint initiatives ahead of the tournament.
