Football, with its profound impact on national and local dynamics, offers a unique window into Latin American racial relations, discourses, and imaginaries. As the primary medium through which much of the world engages with, perceives, and conceptualises the region, football also serves as a crucial platform for understanding the global mobilities of Latin American ideas about race. Despite its significance, there is a notable lack of multidisciplinary research at regional and transnational levels that explores this topic. Moreover, limited attention has been given to examining how the significance of Latin American football and its players – along with the racial ideas associated with them – moves in and shapes contexts beyond Latin America's geographical boundaries.

This symposium brings together international and national experts to address this gap. Through an intersectional and interdisciplinary lens, participants will explore race in Latin American football, examining both historical and contemporary contexts. By doing so, we aim to shed light on the complex interplay between sport, race, and identity in Latin America and its global implications.
