This article aims to show some ethnographic reflexes about two anthropological research fields. The objective is to demonstrate how machismo and LGBTphobic structures are experienced by women and by LGBTQI+ people during a football practice. We know that sports, especially football, are considered privileged fields in which exist the production and reiteration of normative expressions of masculinity. Thereat cisgender and heterosexual men are considered their practitioner and natural interlocutor. As a result, machismo and LGBTphobia are structural issues in the football field. Women and LGBTQI+ people are still questioned about their presence in this sport and are also recurrent depreciated.

Keywords : Body; Gender; Transsexuality; Transmasculinities; Football.
