This qualitative research aims to analyze the public policy for financing professional
male soccer in Pará from the relationship between public institutions (State) and the
public media (TV Cultura/FUNTELPA), from 2005 to 2021. It was necessary to
describe the historical relations between State and Sport and the public policies for
financing sport in Brazil and Pará, to characterize the role of public TV in Brazil and
the role of TV Cultura/FUTELPA in financing professional male soccer in Pará and to
identify the forms of financing and the inequalities of capital in the financing of
professional male soccer in Pará. With an interdisciplinary approach (JAPIASSU,
1976) and methodological procedures based on the praxeology proposed by
Bourdieu (1989) as a method of interpreting the soccer field, based on relations
between agents and the accumulation of symbolic power, this work used as research
tools document analysis, semi-structured interviews and content analysis of the
collected data. As a result, it can be observed that the policy adopted by the
Government of Pará reproduces inequalities and has not contributed to the
development of football in Pará. After the analyses, progressive investment and more
visibility to the base categories and the consolidation of a public policy for sport in the
state are proposed.
