Coeducational approach in the gender inclusive process in Football

Abstract

The coeducational approach to gender inclusion in football is a fundamental strategy for promoting equality and respect within the sport. This perspective values ​​the joint participation of girls and boys, creating an environment where both can learn, play and develop their skills collaboratively, without gender stereotypes limiting their possibilities. The objective of the research was to analyze how the coeducational approach contributes to the process of gender inclusion in football. A qualitative approach of the bibliographic review type was carried out, with searches for sources on websites such as Scielo and Google Scholar. The results demonstrate that coeducational approaches contribute to the development of values ​​such as empathy, cooperation and justice, which are fundamental for a healthy and inclusive sports environment. In this way, football ceases to be an exclusive and competitive space, becoming a space for mutual learning. Thus, the coeducational approach in football promotes equitable participation, challenges restrictive social norms, and paves the way for a sport capable of reflecting the diversity present in society.
