en.Wedoany.com Reported - The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) has initiated the assessment of telecommunications infrastructure for the 2027 Women's World Cup, with the first inspections conducted at Arena Castelão in Fortaleza (Ceará State), one of the tournament's host venues.
The inspections were carried out by the Superintendence of Inspection (SFI) through Anatel's Regional Office in Ceará, with the participation of representatives from the Ministry of Communications, Telebras, and FIFA. The core task of the inspection was to verify whether the stadium's telecommunications infrastructure can meet the event's demands and identify areas requiring adjustments in the coming months.
During the inspections, technicians assessed the capacity of mobile networks (including 5G) and fixed broadband under the expected peak traffic during the tournament. Additionally, analyses were conducted on cabling routes, technical rooms, and spaces designated for temporary equipment installation by operators and telecommunications service providers. Infrastructure required for match broadcasting, as well as conditions supporting FIFA operations, international media, and communication systems for public security agencies, were also prioritized.
Gesiléa Teles, Director of Anatel's Superintendence of Inspection, stated that pre-event inspections are crucial for drawing an accurate diagnosis of existing infrastructure and planning potential reinforcements. The assessment also revealed that some telecommunications facilities installed for the 2014 World Cup are still operational within the stadium. According to Gilberto Studart Gurgel Neto, Director of Anatel's Regional Office in Ceará, the relevant telecommunications facilities remain in good condition and have been updated to meet new technical requirements. He noted that the quality of facilities at Arena Castelão is impressive, having been rigorously maintained since the 2014 World Cup inspections, with the communication infrastructure updated to support new applications and services required for major international events.
This inspection is part of the activities of the Thematic Committee VI (Câmara Temática VI), which handles information technology and telecommunications matters in the preparations for the 2027 Women's World Cup. Similar actions are expected to be carried out at other host stadiums to assess mobile coverage, network capacity, transmission infrastructure, and operational conditions required to meet the needs of athletes, fans, media, and organizers.
