ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the process of transferring institutional representation and the role of the basketball in Goiás from the city of Ipameri to the new capital of the state of Goiás, Goiânia, between 1939 and 1942. The temporal cut considers the records present in the journals Correio Official - Estado de Goyaz and O Popular, which highlight the creation and the disappearance of the Goiana Federation of the Basketball in Ipameri and the pioneering sports movements around the modality in Goiânia. Since its creation in 1939, the presence of the entity in a city in the interior has been questioned and in 1942, the Goiana Federation of the Basketball in Ipameri was extinguished, leaving sequels in the sports movement around the modality.
