Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate the beginnings of the sports organization in the state of Acre, from 1909 to 1922. This period refers to the first news related to sports practices and their decline due to the rubber crisis. Acre, marked by many political and economic tensions, enters into a deep economic crisis regarding the export of rubber. This product at that time was the state's main economic activity. The process of sports organization begins to occur, albeit timidly, in the early decades of the twentieth century. At first, there is news of other Brazilian states and other countries that reveal the beginning of the movement, in that place, of ideas and vocabularies related to sports practices. The first signs of sports organizations were shooting, horse racing, cycling and walking. In 1915 the first soccer club of the region was inaugurated and later, around 1919, football won the sports and journalistic scene. Several football clubs are founded and spaces are modified for the performance of the sport.
