Résumé:
This research starts from the memories made by collaborators about football from Cajazeirense, in the state of Paraiba, to analyze how this sport developed from the 1920s, including the formation of the main teams, the construction of stadiums and social groups that contributed for the daily practice of this sport in the city. To conduct this monograph, we studied dissertations, works and texts that approach the history of football in a national perspective, until we reach more specific elements of the city of Cajazeiras, analyzing historical characters, described curiosities and events that created a memory for this cultural practice in that City. The methodology used was that of oral history, which added to the bibliographic review of the book “História do Futebol de Cajazeiras” (2015) we seek to identify the strategies for building a monumentalization of the history of local football. We especially used the testimony of Mr. Reudesman Lopes Ferreira to reflect on football in Cajazeiras when analyzing the history of this sport and its cultural importance for the municipality. For the period from 1920 to 1990, we seek to understand the cultural and political changes that occurred in football practice, the achievements of local teams, the politics involved in the construction of stadiums and the professionalism of Cajazeirense football. From collective memories, this study is essential to understand the importance that this sport had in the culture of Cajazeirense.
