The analysis of this article is based on the meanings that memories give to ethnic- racial relations in football from memories of black former players champions in Mato Grosso state that played between the years of 1950 to 1970. The used methodology was the oral history guided by open questions about football, sociability and ethnic-racial relations. It was used photographs to verify the teams in terms of race/color and ranking in competitions in which the interviewed players participated. The results show that memories seek to counteract the history of (in) visibility of black people. In this sense, the former players reinvented themselves and rely on memory to up his story of the protagonist place in the history of the sport. The meanings that emerge from memory break with the notion of racial subordination to a perspective of recognition and collective appreciation.

Keywords : football; collectives memories; racial relations; society.
