History

Although today the Brazilian Women’s National Team is one of the best in the world, it was not that long ago that women were not even allowed to watch a game. The women's game filtered sporadically throughout Brazil with popular traction in the early 20th century. Magazines such as O imparcial and Jornal dos sports covered the women's game praising their achievements in local cup competitions. Yet, the traditional order of futbol as "purley masculine" came into contention resulting in the games downfall. Until, the mid 1940s when Brazil became a dictatorship subsequently banning the women's game. Banned by the Minister of Education and Health in 1941, eugenic ideologies from the new dictatorship called for the protection of womanly bodies, thus sports became a disqualified endeavor. The game was male dominated, and those who could not perform well were even called feminine at times. Throughout the time of the ban, women were observed playing quite frequently forcing the Conselho Nacional de Desportos (CND) to take charge and reissue bans that were not working. In 1965, Deliberation no. 7 further forced an end to all women's sports in Brazil, not just football. This ban would not be lifted until the late 1970s, when Brazil passed Amnesty Laws allowing political exiles back into the country. A surge of Brazilian feminists returned to their country eager to change the social landscape inspired by the Western feminist movements of the 60s and 70s. Fan bases for the women’s team with a new identity rooted themselves in the fabric of history and with the support of the general public the women’s game led a rise in feminism that swept across the country. Finally in 1979 the National Sports Council of Brazil passed Deliberation no. 10 reinstating the women's game. Today the National team has won the Copa America 7 times and has made it to the world cup finals where they were beaten by Germany. Perhaps the most impressive statistic that even though the team played its first official match ever in 1986 only 5 years later they won their first title in Copa America and only 9 years after that they were challenging the world's best.

Brazil was Latin America's first country to legally recognize futebol feminino. As the first nation to popularize the women's game it was a hard sell for many Brazilian's caught up with traditional gender roles. Up until the national team started participating on the international stage. After the debut of women's association football in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta the women's game skyrocketed in admiration. In order to capitalize off of the teams commencement and fourth place finish the State of Sao Paulo created Paulistana. The Paulistana was a domestic competition meant to attract young up and coming players for the national team. However, the methodology of Paulistana linked itself to the process futbol feminization. The administrators and managers who ran the competition scalped white, beautiful, and non-masculine players. An attempt to beautify the women's sport for the largely male population of futbol consumers. The 1999 World Cup golden boot winner Sissi noticed the negative effects of beautification and left the Brazil in hope of a more athletic and fair game.

Feminization

Futbol's presence in Brazil is deeply tied to the countries eugenic ideologies of the early 20th century. Yet, through years of resilience joga bonito has persisted popularly among women. Though the progression is not without it's moments of turbulence. Questions of female masculinity and lesbian baiting were contentious during the rise of the women's game. There were many attempts to rid the sport of it' During the 1990s Brazil's National Team and league experienced

I plan to add a section on Nike kit manufacturing and possibly former managers or pivotal players (ADDED)

Kit Sponsorship

Under the CBF requirements both mens and womens national teams are supplied by the same kit manufacturer. The current sponsorship deal is signed with Nike. Although, the details of the kit differ in style. The crest of the women's national team is produced without the five star accolades from previous men's World Cup titles. In honor of the burgeoning history of the women's team they will only attach star merits based on their own performance.
