Stars on the shirt of the Brazilian women's national team
At the 2023 Women's World Cup, the Brazilian women's team shirt will not have the five stars referring to the titles won by the men's team.
The initiative is part of the campaign "#ForFirstStar" of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
With this, they reinforce the search for the first title and try to strengthen women's football by dissociating from men's modality.
