The final draw of the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, which will take place in Brazil, set the stage for the day at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, December 11 at 1:30 p.m.

In accordance with the final drawing procedure, Brazil will be included in pot 1 and will automatically receive the A1 position, as confirmed in the match schedule published last August, according to the sports press.

As a result, the host team will start its journey on Thursday, June 24 at the Maracaná Stadium in Rio de Janeiro and will play its other two group stage games at the Arena Itaquera in São Paulo, on Tuesday, June 29, and at the National Stadium in Brasilia, on Sunday, July 4.

The other 31 selections (the 28 that qualified at the time of the drawing and the three reserved places in the qualifying tournament) will be distributed in four pots of eight teams each. The teams that occupy the top seven places in the standings will accompany Brazil in pot 1. The next eight highest-ranked teams will enter pot 2, while the next eight will be assigned to pot 3.

Pot 4 will include the last five qualified teams and the three places reserved for the winners of the qualifying tournament for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027, which will be played during the period reserved from February 23 to March 6, 2027 on the international women's calendar.

The draw will begin with the drawing of the ball from the host, Brazil, which will be of a different color, and will automatically be included in group A as selection A1. Then, the remaining seven selections will be drawn from pot 1, which will be placed in the successive groups.

Subsequently, the procedure will be repeated with all the selections from drums 2, 3 and 4, in order. Before removing balls from a drum, the previous drum must have been completely emptied. The draw will conclude once all the pot 4 selections are placed in a group.
