SPORTS | Brazil shortens workday for Women’s World Cup

The Hindu  

Published : Jul 22, 2023 12:07 IST - 3 MINS READ Brazil’s players urged their fans back in South America to stay home from work and watch them begin their Women’s World Cup campaign against Panama. “I hope people really follow us.” Taking time off work to watch important football matches is nothing new for fans of Brazil’s men’s team, but this is a first for the women’s national team. “It’s already a very big movement,” midfielder Angelina said of the team’s support in Brazil, “and the expectation is only increasing.” Brazil has competed in every Women’s World Cup with their best result in 2007 finishing runners-up to Germany. In March, Lula endorsed Brazil’s bid to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup alongside Brazil’s sports minister, Ana Moser, and the president of the Brazil’s football confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues. Brazil’s players recognise that they are playing for a brighter future for women’s football in their country at this World Cup.
