CAMARGO, Wagner Xavier de. Gender in Dispute: The National LiGay of Football Society and its Space of Happening. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.2, e79423.  Epub May 10, 2021. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2021v29n279423.

At some point in the ‘sportive decade’ in Brazil, in which the country was target by huge changes in social and political contexts, particularly sexual ‘minority’ groups emerged, and brought the existence of other bodies/aesthetics to the world of football. As they spread quickly, their demands for LGBTIQAP+ tournaments had increased in cities and states of the National territory, and consequently, the LiGay (National LiGay of Football Society) was created. Based on ethnographic research on events planned and carried out by such league (from 2017 to 2019), this article aims to analyze these new expressions on the football practices, and the way how homo/transexual athletes show different kinds of subjectivation about these activities, re-editing them as a space of happening.

Keywords : Society Football; LiGay; Homosexualities; Transmasculinities; Subjectivation.
