Abstract

Based on the concept of soft power, this article aims to deal with football as a source of State power. The text depicts football as an important factor in the international context mainly through its soft power, and its objective is to show that this sport actually works as an instrument of the state. In order to demonstrate this, the article analyses the Brazilian government’s actions involving this sport, concluding that football is a soft power’s primary source, and not secondary.
