2026 Women's Finalissima

The Women's Finalissima is an intercontinental women's football super cup organised by CONMEBOL and UEFA and contested by the winners of the Copa América Femenina and UEFA Women's Championship. Played as a quadrennial one-off match, the first match was played a year after the revival of the men's competition in 2022 following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between CONMEBOL and UEFA.

History

On 12 February 2020, UEFA and CONMEBOL signed a renewed memorandum of understanding meant to enhance cooperation between the two organisations. As part of the agreement, a joint UEFA–CONMEBOL committee examined the possibility of staging European–South American intercontinental matches, for both women's and men's football and across various age groups.[1] On 15 December 2021, UEFA and CONMEBOL again signed a renewed memorandum of understanding lasting until 2028, which included specific provisions on opening a joint office in London and the potential organisation of various football events.[2]

On 2 June 2022, the day after staging the 2022 Finalissima, CONMEBOL and UEFA announced a series of new events between teams from the two confederations. This included a match between the winners of South America's Copa América Femenina and the winners of Europe's UEFA Women's Championship. The first edition took place on 6 April 2023 at Wembley Stadium in London, England,[3] between Brazil, winners of the 2022 Copa América Femenina, and England, winners of UEFA Women's Euro 2022. The inaugural edition was won by England on penalties following a 1–1 draw after regular time (the new competition does not have extra time: ties go straight to a penalty shootout).

The next Women's Finalissima is expected to take place in 2026 and will be between the same teams, following both England and Brazil retaining their continental trophies at the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 and 2025 Copa América Femenina.[4][5] Although Brazil's national federation had in 2025 scheduled the game for the March 2026 international window,[6] with FIFA allowing teams to play three games instead of two, England announced they would only play two games (their 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers) to reduce fixture congestion.[7]
