Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting issued rules for an accelerated authorisation process for fixed-odds betting companies linked to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Eligible Brazilian FIFA partners or contractors may seek a limited licence for 24 May to 25 August 2027, paying R$1,528,767.12 and establishing a R$2.5m reserve, or apply for a five-year authorisation. Applications are due by 31 October 2026, and event-period licensees may offer bets only on the tournament.
Brazilian legislation for the 2027 Women's World Cup allows betting operators without a domestic licence to sponsor FIFA, provided they block access to their platforms from Brazil and do not offer bets to Brazilian customers. The Finance Ministry said the restrictions apply during the tournament and related promotions; unlicensed operators may also seek a temporary event licence, with FIFA-affiliated sponsors receiving priority in application reviews.
