Abstract
Women have played football in Latin America for more than 100 years. At the institutional level, however, it was only in 2016 that the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) required, through Club Licensing, all clubs participating in the men’s version of the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana to have a senior women’s team and a U-15 girls’ grassroots team; they needed to compete in at least one official championship as a way to encourage the growth of women’s football on the continent. This initiative can be interpreted as a multicentric sport policy of a regulatory and redistributive type of gender equality (Canan et al., 2019) which, the same as Title IX in the United States (US), can contribute to the democratisation of sport for women. In this sense, the present study seeks to identify multicentric sport policies of a regulatory and redistributive type of gender equality in relation to women’s football in South America and their respective consequences.
