With the advent of sport as a mass phenomenon, football has become a hegemony as a sport social practice, highlining its organization on the global stage.

The objective of this paper is to diagnose the barriers encountered by managers of Brazilian football clubs and to analyze the gender relations in their professional trajectories. In the study, four women who worked and act as managers will answer a semi-structured interview. This is a qualitative approach research and a descriptive character, and the reflections will be guided by the post-structural theoretical framework of gender studies.
