Abstract

SITOE, Selso Ananias et al. History of sport in Mozambique: a vision of teachers and managers of Physical Education. Rev. Motriviv. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.62, e66129.  Epub May 01, 2020. ISSN 2175-8042.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2020.e66129.

We propose with this work to present the historical evolution of the structure of sport in Mozambique. For this, three teachers and four leaders who lived the history and evolution of Physical Education (PE) and sports in the country were selected. We use historical documents and semi-structured interviews with the participants. The content analysis was used to analyze and interpret the found materials and interviews. The socio-cultural context of FF and sport in Mozambique was marked by two historical periods: the colonial era (1927-1974), which laid the foundations for the structuring of existing FGs in Mozambique and the post-independence era (1975-2016), which is characterized by regulation, the formulation of policies and the training of PE and sports professionals oriented to promote the area. In this process, despite the precarious social and economic conditions experienced in the colonial period and after independence, the Mozambican government played a mediating role that contributed to the development of the area.
