摘要：The aim of this research work is to analise territoriality among “peladeiros” (nonprofessional football players) in the Mansões Paraíso neighborhood in the city of Aparecida de Goiânia-GO, Brazil. A few methodological procedures were followed and divided in two parts: “office work” and field work. The “pelada” (the match) breaks the formality of professional football since rules, playing fields, and timetables are of a lesser importance. To the “peladeiros”, the most important thing is the moment of socialization brought in by the pelada match. In the fast-paced game of this research work, we have attempted to kick off a geographical reflection on the informal territories of football.
