This paper is part of the research “Survey and analysis of the development of production and the study on soccer 1980 – 2016” conducted by the Study Group on Football and Supporters at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). This paper focuses on the production of theses and dissertations about soccer defended in the UFMG Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Program in Leisure Studies (PPGIEL). The data used were collected in the CAPES thesis and dissertation database and statistically treated in the SPSS. For qualitative analysis of the research, the abstracts were accessed and, when necessary, the full text. We present here the characteristics of the studies, such as: recurrence of studies on soccer in the program; low presence of female researchers; diversity of research lines in which guiding teachers are inserted; importance of the research group that focuses on soccer; greater presence of studies that focus on historical studies and football as a sporting spectacle, besides the analysis of each theses and dissertations performed in ten years of PPGIEL.
