The paper analyses the case of Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah, from Liverpool FC in England, as a successful example of building a transcultural idol within a scenario of the internationalization of football as business. We study his social medias through organic monitoring from 2021 to 2023, to understand how the athlete image would help overcoming cultural barriers. We established five categories (work, success, family, multiculturalism, and commercial legitimacy) around cultural signs, analysing the posts in the light of the concept of hyper-ritualization. We argue that the football player manages to build a multiculturalist image by overcoming national barriers. We argue that he does this by the positive image he builds on his social medias, allowing him transit through different cultural environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The occurrence of musculoskeletal injuries in athletes, such as soccer players, is very common and disabling, directly impacting sports performance and quality of life. Objective: To describe the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries and their characteristics in non-professional soccer players. Methodology: Cross-sectional and descriptive study with 182 nonprofessional soccer practitioners. Participants underwent a Reported Morbidity Survey to identify injuries. Results: The mean age of the participants was 25,2 years, with 100% reporting at least one injury, of which 83 (45,6%) reported only one injury, while 99 (54,4%) reported two or more. Regarding field position, forwards were the most affected with 92 injuries (50,5%). The most common injuries were dislocations with 70 cases (22,5%), muscle strains 49 (15,8%), muscle contractions 47 (15,1%) and ligament injuries 34 (10,9%). Regarding the most affected anatomical sites, the thigh had 103 cases (33,1%), ankle 68 (21,9%), knee 43 (13,8%) and leg 36 (8,4%). The most cited injury mechanisms were direct trauma with 61 occurrences (19,6%), sprain 51 (16,4%), overuse and sprinting with 49 (15,8%) each. Conclusion: We found a high prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in the non-professional athletes surveyed, with the lower extremities being the most affected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to understand the context of sports marketing in Ecuador, analyzing the management and representation of soccer players. At the same time, it proposes to develop a sports marketer model, strategically taking advantage of the sports properties of the different soccer players that are in development/growth at a national level. Creating the right roadmap to develop this sports project is key, as well as creating a new segment is a challenge for the sports marketer. Composing an image management agency for soccer players is undoubtedly uncommon, which is why employing new methods such as image scouting is totally new within the country's sports market.

The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in professional soccer players in the state of Acre, Brazil, during the 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons. Method: The sample consisted of 112 professional soccer players. Data were collected from the medical records of injured players and through interviews (players and/or those responsible for their treatment). The following data on the characteristics of the injuries were collected: injury type, whether the injury occurred during matches or training, injured site, and player position. Results: stretch 38 (33,9%) and contractures 41 (36,6%) were the most common injury types, followed by contusions 9 (8,0%), dislocations 6 (5,4%) and tendonitis 5 (4,5%). The lower limbs were the most affected, with the back of the thigh, knee and ankle being the sites with the highest injury frequencies. Winger and midfielder were the positions with the highest prevalence of injuries. In 2016, the prevalence of injuries was higher during matches than training, and in the subsequent seasons, there was a higher prevalence during training. Conclusion: The prevalence of injuries in soccer players from Acre is high and mainly involves the lower limbs, with a higher frequency among wingers, attacking midfielders and strikers. Methods for preventing such injuries are necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to refl ect upon the chronicles written by former soccer player Tostão, about the 2006’s World Cup, in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo. Thirteen chronicles of this newspaper plus another chronicles by the same author published in a book were used as sources, analyzed and interpreted by a historiographical and anthropological methodological point of view. It is noticeably from the narratives articulated by the chronicler and former soccer player that a variety of contents are explored, such as the dispute for power, corporeality and lack of courage due to moral issues to give meaning and elect the culprits among the Brazilian team for the failure in this competition.

Venerated by sports fans and fans, soccer players in many cases attain the status of myths - as if they were in fact divine entities. In particular, World Cup athletes star in sports news, stamp albums and have their private lives exposed, moving the numerous markets surrounding the mega sports event. From this perspective, the present work aims to analyze, from an imaginary point of view, the mythification of athletes in digital environments, using the photo gallery entitled “Russia 2018’s most eye-catching moments”, on the official FIFA website. By using the analysis technique proposed by Joly (1996), the plastic, iconic and linguistic messages present in five striking photos of the 2018 World Cup were listed. At the end of the study, the analysis showed that the selected photos highlight the mythification proposed by the selected gallery and, furthermore, it was possible to list words that iconically summarize the image, such as vibration, outburst, grandeur, hope and amazement.

This paper presents an analysis of official and unofficial anthroponyms of soccer players from the Brazilian National team from 1958 to 2018. The theoretical framework is based on both onomastic studies, such as Amaral (2011), Amaral e Seide (2020), Bajo Pérez (2002), Becker (2012), Fernández Leborans (1999), Urrutia and Sánchez (2009), Van Langendonck (2007), Fernández Leborans (1999) and on analyses about Brazilian soccer studies such as Rodrigues (2010) and Caetano and Rodrigues (2009). The data analyzed are the players’ names on the lists selected to compete World Cup in that period. These names are classified in order to observe variation and change over time. The results indicate a predominance of official names in almost every year as well as a greater contemporary trend towards more formal name variants.

In this paper we analyze the semantic-syntactic behavior of a group of bare singular count nominals in Rioplatense Spanish. In particular, we study bare nominals that appear in argument position, as complements of the directional preposition a (to) (Ana va a consultorio/'Ana goes to the clinic'), of the locative preposition en (in) (Los jugadores están en cancha/'The players are in the football field') and of transitive verbs (Juan mira tele/'Juan watches tv'). First, some diagnostics are provided in order to show that these bare nominals behave like typical weak definites, as has been originally described in Carlson and Sussman (2005). After describing their distribution, we explore their semantic and syntactic nature using a non-pseudoincorporationist proposal -inspired by de de Swart (2015)-. In a nutshell, our analysis argues that these bare nominals project a defective syntactic structure, without overt phonological realization of D and without NumP. Furthermore, we assume that the determiner preserves its uniqueness and familiarity and we postulate that, in combination with the noun, it denotes an abstract entity or kind, and not a particular object (AGUILARGUEVARA, 2014). Finally, this study aims to contribute to the hypothesis that weak definiteness is a crosslinguistic phenomenon, that comprises both overt NPs and DPs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the constitution of the plane crash that carried Chapecoense's soccer players in 2016, as an event, based on Folha de S. Paulo news coverage. The objective is to identify how the narrative construction takes place and the kind of affectation it produces in different audiences or social groups. The analysis shows that different senses are used to interpret what happened (accident, disaster, fatality, murder). It also shows an event with great affectation power based on the high number of fatal victims and their ties (soccer, press and business people) as well as shows and event with audiences who acted less in the discussion about the causes and responsibilities for the plane crash and more in the expression of certain social values, such as solidarity.

The transition phases of human life are always a matter of social concern. The present work aims to describe life histories of former soccer players of the Matchedje Club in Maputo. Four former football players were interviewed. The results revealed that most former players come from cities and from humble families that could not afford their secondary studies. Most of them end their careers between 20 to 36 years old, mainly out of injuries. By then they are obliged to ensure their own livelihood and of their families’, which does not leave them enough time for further education. Others continue embracing football becoming coaches in spite of the low salaries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on interviews conducted with Brazilians football players who played abroad, we aim to discuss elements related to the theoretical-methodological aspect of Oral History. Thus, we work the relationship between present and past, memory and history, remembrance and forgetting are triggered to contribute to the understanding of the importance of the method. Next, we sought to differentiate an Oral History interview from a journalistic interview, as well as to reflect on which are the contributions of researches that aim at the production of oral sources when thinking on the field of sport studies. As a conclusion, we emphasize the importance of building new sources on football, in the same way that this field brings theoretical-methodological challenges to Oral History. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: The relations between intermediaries and base football players over 16 years old have shown greater relevance, mainly due to factors such as the increase in transfers and the increase in wages. OBJECTIVE: To analyze how the relations between soccer intermediaries and youth players under 16 years old are initiated, sustained and ended. METHODS: It is characterized as a qualitative research with an exploratory design, which allowed the interpretation of the results found. The sample selection was non-probabilistic, intentionally, for convenience. Four intermediaries, men, aged between 36 and 42 years, participated in this study. To collect information, semi-structured interviews were used, which were recorded and later transcribed. RESULTS: 187 record units emerged from the interviews, being allocated into categories and subcategories, in accordance with the assumptions of content analysis. It was considered that the relationships start from the analysis of players and the first contacts between the player's agent and family. They are sustained on the basis of trust and through the offer of material benefits and service by the intermediary. The termination of relationships may occur for other reasons before the conclusion of the first professional contract. CONCLUSION: The main interest of intermediaries is to retain the player to profit financially when he becomes professional. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
