Women playing soccer in Rio's Ipanema beach were excited on Friday (May 17) after Brazil was named host of the 2028 Women's World Cup.
Brazil was designated host after winning a vote at the annual FIFA Congress, beating the joint bid of Belgium, Netherlands and Germany to become the first South American country picked to stage the tournament.
Brazil won with 119 votes versus 78 for the joint European entry, boosted by a technical evaluation from world governing body FIFA that gave a high score for its commercial plan and stadiums purpose-built for the 2014 Men's World Cup.
In Rio, teachers and players of "altinha", a soccer spin-off consisting of keeping the ball in the air but without using hands or arms, said the decision will show Brazil is a country not just for men's soccer.
The vote on the Women's World Cup had been whittled down to two candidates after the United States and Mexico withdrew to pursue the 2031 tournament instead.
Brazil had scored 4.0 out of 5 compared to 3.7 for Belgium-Netherlands

I think it was essential for Brazil to be seen
00:47.2
because Brazil is already seen as a country of football,
00:50.2
only here on the masculine side.
00:51.8
And now we're going to show that women also have a lot of ball on their feet,
00:54.8
that we play a lot.
00:56.3
And besides that, I've already seen a very big search from the girls
00:60.0
to want to learn how to play highball, football, and football.
01:03.0
I have several friends who play,
01:04.8
we play when we travel, on the weekends.
01:07.6
So I think this World Cup came to show that Brazil is really a country of football
01:12.3
and it's not because of men, it's because of women.
01:17.2
I'm very happy and honored to be able to be alive,
01:44.1
to be able to witness this.
01:46.2
It's an amazing thing.
01:48.2
I think it's very important for our growth of women's football,
01:52.2
not only here in Brazil, but everywhere,
01:55.2
so that people can see themselves and be encouraged to practice.
02:00.2
For us women, it's very important.
02:18.2
And I want to show that thanks to our coaches,
02:19.6
we're even more рласт holiday.
02:22.5
Today is my birthday
02:24.5
and Dang, the guy I'm really praying for.
02:26.3
I'm thinking of him as a subject of re-comment.
02:30.3
And I want to show him that our shoulders have changed
02:34.3
and that we're not just looking at the world anymore,
02:36.4
but the world is giving us this and that.
02:40.8
It's really encouraging to me because
02:43.8
the girls will see other teams play, other groups are also playing.
02:46.6
It's a good feeling.
02:47.1
The younger women in Brazil, they don't think the older ones will lose because they're just playing.
02:47.1
We just know that we're amazing in order to receive support from them.
02:47.2
We just know that we're amazing in order to receive support from women in Brazil.
02:47.2
We just know that we're amazing in order to receive support from women in Brazil.
02:47.2
I think it will stimulate the women a lot because I think we women want to play but we are still very afraid of what the boys will say because the boys don't want to play with us. So I think it will stimulate the women a lot.
02:58.6
I think it will stimulate the women a lot because the boys don't want to play with us.
03:28.6
So I think it will stimulate the women a lot because the boys don't want to play with us.
