This paper aims at developing a conceptual-theorical body which makes possible study football as social-cultural and spacial element. A dialogue between the cultural board in geography is proposed and also, the Moscovici’s (2003) social representational theory and the Lefébvre’s (1991) formulations about the representational space, Soja (1996) and Gil Filho (2003). It was from a lecture of the ideas of these authors which formulated the concept of the football representational space, compounded by several elements, split into central categories (footballing fact, social practice of football and power), mediational categories (symbol, modern myth, speech, footballing identity) and kingdoms (institucional politics, footballing ethos and passion/affection).
