The Brazilian Football Confederation (Portuguese: Confederação Brasileira de Futebol, CBF) is the governing body of football in Brazil. It was founded on Monday, 8 June 1914,[3] as Federação Brasileira de Sports, and renamed Confederação Brasileira de Desportos in 1916. The football confederation, as known today, separated from other sports associations on 24 September 1979.

The CBF has its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.[4] The confederation owns a training center, named Granja Comary, located in Teresópolis.[5]

It was announced on 29 September 2007, that the CBF would launch a women's league and cup competition in October 2007 following pressure from FIFA president Sepp Blatter during the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in China.[6][7]

The confederation reported a budget of $265.6 million (R$1.5 billion) for 2024, and a projection of $398.4 million (R$2.25 billion) for 2025.[8]
