  "summary": "Eight Brazilian stadiums have been selected to host matches for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, with the tournament set to take place from June 24 to July 25. The cities of Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, São Paulo, Salvador, and Recife will all host matches, with the iconic Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro hosting the opening match, final, quarter-finals, and semi-finals. The other venues will collectively stage all 64 matches, with each city hosting at least seven games and at least one knockout-stage fixture. The Maracanã, which has a rich World Cup history, will also become only the third stadium to host both a men’s FIFA World Cup final and a Women’s World Cup final.",
