ABSTRACT
Futsac is a sport created in Curitiba - PR in 2002, by businessman Marcos Juliano Ofenbock. The modality was officially recognized by the Brazilian Ministry of Sports in 2014, where it demonstrated a strong process of insertion in the political environment. Our study mapped the paths adopted by the creator of Futsac in the political fields of Brazil. The results of our research showed that the relations established by the creator of Futsac with certain members of the legislative and executive spheres of Curitiba and Paraná political scenario, which already had an image linked to sports policies, facilitated the legal structuring of the modality within the Ministry of Sports.
