Women's Football In Brazil
Women's football is not as popular in Brazil as men's football, although it has increased in popularity since the 2000s. History Due to strong and continuing social stigma, Brazilian society only minimally supports women's football. There is a sexist belief in the country that football is not a sport for women. It was illegal for women to play football in Brazil from 1941 to 1979. Until recently, the country lacked a national women's league, organizing only state competitions because there was limited financial interest and support for the women's game. The Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino was first played in 2007. In 2013, a nationwide league, the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1, was officially started and became the country's premier women's domestic competition, helping to increase the quality of Brazilian women's football. Despite all issues, Brazilian clubs have won most editions of the Copa Libertadores Femenina (11). Women's football in Brazil only r ...
