Breves Considerações Sobre a New Football Federations- Board (Nf-Board)
BREVES CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE A NEW FOOTBALL FEDERATIONS- BOARD (NF-BOARD) Constantino Ribeiro de Oliveira Junior1 Rodrigo Simionato2 Vanessa Cavalari Calixto3 Resumo: O futebol é um esporte que movimenta paixões pelo mundo. Atualmente, tem- se duzentas e onze seleções filiadas à Federação Internacional de Futebol e Associações (FIFA), entidade máxima do futebol. Contudo, observa-se que existem outras seleções ao redor do mundo que não estão inscritas e inseridas neste contexto, pelas diversas razões que elitizam o referido esporte. Assim, assume-se o seguinte questionamento: o que é a New Football Federations-Board (NF-Board)? A partir desta indagação, delimita-se como objetivo do presente artigo demonstrar a estrutura do futebol na NF- Board, seu surgimento e a sua extinção. Metodologicamente, utiliza-se uma abordagem qualitativa, de cunho bibliográfico, fazendo o comparativo entre a FIFA e a NF-Board, no tocante a forma de ingresso e permanência as seleções de futebol. Palavras chave: NF-Board; futebol; FIFA. Introdução No contexto da sociedade atual, voltada para a globalização, evidencia-se uma estrutura do “mundo” do futebol e a sua organização, através de fontes normativas e determinações. A Federação Internacional de Futebol e Associações (FIFA) demonstra-se dominante neste campo esportivo, caracterizando-se como entidade máxima do futebol, que atualmente conta com a filiação de duzentas e onze seleções. Entretanto, algumas nações não são reconhecidas como Estado, nem pela FIFA ou pela comunidade internacional. Isto é, são povos que, não reconhecidos pela entidade máxima do futebol, nao podem disputar competições oficiais4. No intuito de integrar tais nações não reconhecidas, a partir do futebol, surgem associações que se propõem a organizar competições em âmbito internacional para os povos à margem da FIFA. -
DUWT-CSKJI Press Release Pages
! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The First-ever Soccer Team for Darfuri Refugee Women to be Created Fall 2018 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA / REFUGEE CAMP DJABAL, GOZ BEIDA, CHAD, September 21 - This fall in eastern Chad, iACT will organize the first-ever Darfur United Women’s Team (DUWT), an all-refugee soccer team representing Darfur, Sudan, and the women who tirelessly hold the community and their future together. Building on the success of the Darfur United Men’s Team, the Women’s Team will give the women of Darfur the opportunity to train, compete, and represent their people on the field and bring new possibilities for women and girls in their community, where few exist today. The first-ever Women’s Team Training Camp in October 2018 will launch the formation of the team. Female players from eight refugee camps in eastern Chad who currently serve as coaches for the Refugees United Soccer Academy, and young women with some experience who are interested in joining the team, will come together to participate in a week-long soccer training camp with expert iACT soccer coaches and trainers. Darfur United originally began in 2012 in refugee camp Djabal, located in Goz Beida, eastern Chad. Sixty Darfuri men traveled to Djabal from all twelve Darfuri refugee camps in eastern Chad to try out for the men’s soccer team. In a joint effort with the Darfuri refugee community, the UN Refugee Agency, and soccer fans, iACT formed the Darfur United Men’s Team (DUMT). That same year, iACT took the team from the camps to Iraqi-Kurdistan to participate in the Viva World Cup, in which DUMT competed and scored the Darfuri community’s first international goal. -
