Rugby no estado de Goiás: processo de implantação e divulgação do esporte na representação do cenário esportivo nacional

Abstract

This paper discusses issues related to lack of information in the national sport scenario and focuses on producing a proposal aimed at remedying the shortcomings in the studies of the area. The objective of this paper is to make a brief history of the sport in its origin and in Brazil. Also, its insertion in the Goianiense community, as well as the factors that facilitated and hindered deployment of the sport. Having considered for preparation of this work, two questionnaires were developed: one for practitioners and one for the club officers. Moreover, interviews with key members of Goiás Rugby club were executed, who in their turn could report their experiences and views on the inclusion of Rugby in Goiânia-GO.
