Resumen
El artículo analiza el encuentro entre fútbol, política y feminismos en la Argentina contemporánea, a partir de los procesos de politización que atravesaron al fútbol practicado por mujeres en la última década. Se observa cómo el avance del movimiento feminista –particularmente desde la irrupción de Ni Una Menos– contribuyó a visibilizar y disputar las desigualdades estructurales del campo futbolístico, históricamente organizado bajo lógicas androcéntricas, precarizadas y excluyentes. El trabajo se centra en el período inaugurado por el anuncio de la profesionalización en 2019, atendiendo a las tensiones entre reconocimiento institucional y persistencia de condiciones amateurs. A partir de un enfoque cualitativo y etnográfico, basado en entrevistas y observaciones participantes realizadas entre 2021 y 2023 con futbolistas de dos clubes de primera división de la provincia de Buenos Aires, se analizan las narrativas, experiencias e identificaciones políticas construidas por las jugadoras. Se sostiene que, en este contexto, emergen nuevas formas de politización en clave feminista, expresadas en identificaciones situadas como semiprofesionales, trabajadoras del fútbol y, en algunos casos, futbolistas feministas. Estas identificaciones no sólo permiten denunciar la precariedad laboral y disputar derechos materiales, sino que también operan como prácticas políticas que interpelan los sentidos dominantes del profesionalismo, el trabajo y la pretendida neutralidad al interior del campo de las prácticas deportivas. Asimismo, el artículo da cuenta de las tensiones, ambivalencias y costos que supone la politización feminista en un campo que sanciona la expresión política de las mujeres deportistas.
This article analyzes the intersection of football, politics, and feminism in contemporary Argentina, focusing on the politicization processes that have shaped women's football over the past decade. It examines how the advancement of the feminist movement—particularly since the emergence of Ni Una Menos (Not One Less)—has contributed to making visible and challenging the structural inequalities within the football field, historically organized under androcentric, precarious, and exclusionary logics. The study centers on the period following the announcement of professionalization in 2019, paying particular attention to the tensions between institutional recognition and the persistence of amateur conditions. Using a qualitative and ethnographic approach, based on interviews and participant observation conducted between 2021 and 2023 with female footballers from two first-division clubs in the province of Buenos Aires, the narratives, experiences, and political identifications constructed by the players are analyzed. It is argued that, in this context, new forms of feminist politicization are emerging, expressed through identifications such as semi-professionals, women working in football, and, in some cases, feminist footballers. These identifications not only allow for the denunciation of precarious working conditions and the struggle for material rights, but also operate as political practices that challenge dominant notions of professionalism, work, and the supposed neutrality within the field of sports. Furthermore, the article addresses the tensions, ambivalences, and costs involved in feminist politicization within a field that sanctions the political expression of women athletes.
