It is notable that the football environment is historically dominated by men and this is reflected in the artistic / literary production of this subject. There are a large number of chroniclers men writing about this sport, in contrast to this, there are few texts about this theme written by women. The article aimed presents reflections about how the small number of literate women who wrote about football, conceived, allowing also reflect about the perpetuating male dominance in this sphere. The methodology used was that of literary studies focused on the analysis of chronic sports, in this case, produced by the writers Lya Luft, Rachel de Queiroz and Clarice Lispector, so we tried to make a relationship between literature and history. It was concluded that in rare football texts produced by women, when they not apoligized for writing about this theme, tried to get away from technical or tactical ratings.
