Abstract

The aim of the study focuses on analysing the situation of women's football based in the Berguedà region. The reality which represents the incorporation of women in the world of the sport from the historical perspective, the presence of stereotypes in our society and the current state of the women's football, have been key appearances to review. A both quantitative and qualitative methodology has been used, with the purpose to design a strategy that could be implemented in different territories. The results show the gender differences of the adhesion of the football practice, the familiar influence of the development of physical activity by part of their daughters and how differently the various elements act in the adhesion of the football practice, taking into account gender and age. The necessity of optimizing the process concludes with the participation of girls into the football sport. It stands out the importance of the school centres to initiate the girls to this kind of practice.
