This book analyses the formation of football teams and leagues by Latin American migrants, as well as the transcultural and gendered negotiations of belonging within migrant amateur football spaces in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil. Football provides an important space for Latin American migrants to come together culturally and socially, and to express a sense of belonging to the same nation, region, or even locality of origin. Appropriating space for football is also an important transcultural strategy: migrants integrate themselves into everyday Brazilian culture while expressing their affiliation to their country of arrival, since amateur football is a widespread and popular sport in Brazil.
