Women have conquered greater spaces in the sports scope, but in sports leadership positions, women are still a minority, and are under-represented. The study aimed to verify the participation of women in coach positions (Head Coach and Assistant Coach) in team sports at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Official data were collected from 170 coaching staff of men’s and women’s teams in the following sports: Basketball, Soccer, Handball, Field Hockey, Rugby Seven, Volleyball and Water Polo. No women were identified in the positions on men's teams. In the female teams, 51 women of a total of 222 professionals were verified, representing 22.97% of the total, with a higher percentage for basketball, soccer and handball. Conclusion, even with the policies of the International Olympic Committee to increase the number of women in the Olympic Games, these actions do not reflect on the positions of coaching staff in Tokyo-2020.
