The study aims to analyze the behavior of budget financing in the state of Paraná from 2002 to 2018. This documentary and quantitative research collected data from the Paraná government at the National Treasury Secretariat. We considered the committed resources from the state budget and from the functions "Sports and Leisure", “Science and technology”, "Public Security", "Social Assistance", "Health", "Education" and "Culture". We conclude that the government of Paraná invested 0.11% (R$ 688 million) of its budget in sports and that the behavior of sports financing did not follow the trends of the state budget. Marked by expressive fluctuations, the sport had one of the lowest rates of increments and the fluctuations are close to the cyclical electoral behavior of investments. “Community Sports” totaled the largest volume of resources, but incorporated investments from “Elite Sports”, which makes it impossible to accurately analyze the priorities adopted by the state government.
