Abstract

The research aimed to observe soccer players and their self-representations, how they see women's participation in football and if schools encourage the practice of this activity, noting gender issues. It also presents analysis of interfaces and developments of practice within the school and school physical education. In qualitative methodology, interviews were conducted with academic and physical education athletes. It was found that there are prejudices about women's soccer, and that the conditions of access and participation in sports and bodily practices still favor the male universe.
