Abstract
The article presents the initial results of an ethnography carried out in a peri-urban indigenous neighborhood with young people who get together on Saturdays to play football. The method was centrally participant observation and the objective was to observe the role played by football in this social context to offer elements that allow the development of public policies.
The study describes the relationships established with other neighborhoods in the area based on the practice, the political dimension linked to preserving the terrain of the soccer field, the relationship with the constructions of the male gender, the role of football as leisure and recreation in a context of scarce cultural offer as well as of professional aspiration in a context of scarce labor supply, and the relationship with the consumption of alcohol and drugs.
Among the outgoing results is the demystification that the practice of soccer itself has a preventive role for the prevention of drug use (as is often mentioned in indigenous communities), the understanding of the neighborhood logics of practice and the potential space for the application of three methodologies for community development from football.
