The creation of a specific journal on the history of sport demonstrates an attempt to consolidate and give academic visibility to this field. Therefore, this study sought to present how academic knowledge has been structured in Recorde: Revista de História do Esporte [Recorde: Journal of Sport History], the only exclusive journal on the history of sport in Brazil. For this purpose, the content of articles published in the journal was analyzed from its creation in 2008, until the last volume published in 2020. A total of 215 studies were found with thematic approaches, time frames, sources and varied theoretical references. This information sheds light on the fact that, since its creation, Recorde has been gradually developing and presenting a vast content that is not far from the epistemological lines of history and social and human sciences, nor from specialized journals in English whose scope is similar. Lastly, Recorde has been regarded as an organized and zealous journal with a historical content of sport, thus constituting itself as a reliable, regular and accessible channel for a wide audience, mainly due to their acceptance of manuscripts in four languages.
