Made up of 23 ministries, the document offers seven guarantees from the Brazilian government required by FIFA for countries to apply to host the World Cup.
The guarantees for the Women’s Cup signed by different ministries cover the following areas:
- Visa, licensing, immigration and registration procedures;
- Work permits and labor law;
- Tax exemptions and exchange rate commitments;
- Security and protection;
- Protection and exploitation of competition rights;
- Computer science;

In addition to the United States and Mexico, Brazil is competing with two other candidates: one from South Africa and the other, jointly, from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
