A pretext for regression? The gendered institutional response to COVID-19 in the country of football

(Ein Vorwand für Regression? Die geschlechtsspezifische institutionelle Reaktion auf COVID-19 im Land des Fußballs)

This article considers the gendered institutional response to COVID-19 in Brazilian football. It is argued that the asymmetries of power which shaped policy are rooted in the historical marginalisation of women`s sports in the country along with socially constructed notions of hegemonic masculinity. The COVID-19 pandemic has served to accentuate deeply embedded social and economic inequalities and may serve as a pretext for eroding precarious gains made in recent times.
