“…Projeto Rio 2016 was developed, implemented, and financed by the State Government, and was promoted as Rio's main The main strategy for developing sport/physical activity participation among the (young) population found in the bid document refers to increasing funding towards already existing federal government programs in this field. The main one, the Programa Segundo Tempo (English translation: Second Half Program) was, at the time, the flagship program of the Ministry of Sports for increasing sport participation among children and youth across the country, and has the concept of development through sport as its principal foundation (Knijnik & Tavares, 2012;Reis, Sousa-Mast, & Vieira, 2013). In fact, the program is supported by the UN, which highlights again its social development focus.…”

Sport participation as a legacy of the Olympic Games (OG) has frequently featured as a component of the "legacy package" that government bodies and organizing committees promote to the local communities to gain support for the hosting of these mega-events. However, only recently increased sport participation has been explicitly included as part of a legacy plan in OG candidature files. This article examines the changes and development of sport legacy planning and implementation from Sydney 2000, London 2012, and Rio 2016. The three case studies confirm that sport participation legacies are only achieved if host governments engage the community, develop long-term strategies, and coordinate efforts between different government portfolios and with a range of relevant stakeholders. So far, there is limited evidence available to demonstrate that relevant government bodies have attempted to strategically leverage the Games with the purpose of developing a sport participation legacy for the wider population.

“…The recent hosting of mega-events has attracted the attention of scholars who have critically assessed Brazil's role as a host nation (e.g. Reis et al, 2013;Sánchez and Broudehoux, 2013;de Menezes and de Souza, 2014;Gaffney, 2014Gaffney, , 2016Millington and Darnell, 2014;Santos, 2014;Ullian and Costa, 2015;Bailey et al, 2017). The hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and Rio 2016 has been highly contested due to recession, social protests and more recent political turbulence.…”

“…Until 2007, Brazil had not hosted any mega‐international sporting events since the 1950 FIFA World Cup and the 1963 Pan American Games. The desire to showcase Brazil as an emerging economy resulted in a series of successful bids, with Brazil hosting the 2007 Pan American Games, the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics, referred to as Brazil's sporting decade (Gaffney, ; Reis, Sousa‐Mast and Vieira, ; Santos, ). The recent hosting of mega‐events has attracted the attention of scholars who have critically assessed Brazil's role as a host nation (e.g.…”

“…Thus, the neoliberalisation of sporting spaces and upgraded venues can push out the very people who found meaning in such spaces through recreation and fandom (Dubal, ). Numerous scholars are highlighting the result of mega‐event developments across Brazil, and the country's emerging economy status is increasing both wealth gaps and competition—meaning that disadvantaged communities in Brazil are further excluded from intended benefits and even access to new amenities (see Gaffney, , ; Reis et al., ). This is not to say that the community adjacent to the Arena da Amazônia fits this trajectory exactly, but conducting research in an immediately adjacent community will offer valuable insight into how these broader trends are impacting on how the new venue and surrounding spaces are used and consumed.…”

This paper presents a conceptual and methodological approach for researching social conditions to understand how urban change and development affects a community and its residents. Manaus, in Brazil's Amazonia region, received much criticism after US$300 million that was spent on a 40,000+ seat (upgraded) stadium in a city with no regular sporting tournaments. This paper positions the need to look beyond tangible features and assess social impacts based on community perceptions using ethnography to locate local meanings of social transformation. Attention is needed in communities adjacent to new stadium developments in Manaus to understand inclusion, exclusion and social leveraging.

“…Para Gawryszewski (2013), o programa Rio Mais Social atrai desde as grandes empresas até as celebridades do esporte que vislumbram a possibilidade de se beneficiarem por meio do marketing social. De fato, a associação simplista entre a oferta de projetos sociais esportivos, a prevenção da violência e a promoção da paz também é um recurso utilizado pelos setores público e privado na busca por visibilidade e alinhamento com as propostas das agências internacionais de desenvolvimento (JESUS, 2011;NOZAKI;PENNA, 2007;REIS;SOUSA-MAST;VIEIRA, 2013;SOUZA, 2014). Na leitura de Hecktheuer (2012), o panorama de crescimento dessas iniciativas aponta para uma nova estratégia de solução de problemas sociais, levando-o a adotar o termo "sociedade de projetos".…”

Resumo: Este artigo discute o uso do esporte para a promoção da paz e os principais aspectos analisados no contexto internacional, traçando correspondências e alteridades com as ações promovidas nas áreas de pacificação no Rio de Janeiro. A partir da revisão da literatura com base em procedimentos da revisão sistemática, observou-se que a falta de sensibilidade cultural e de consideração dos processos de exclusão social por parte de seus idealizadores resultam na crescente militarização do espaço das comunidades, o que impõe limites à sustentabilidade desses projetos esportivos a longo prazo. Abstract:This article discusses the use of sports to promote peace and the main aspects analyzed in the international context, indicating similarities to and differences from the actions promoted in the so-called "pacification" in areas in Rio de Janeiro. A literature review based on systematic review procedures found that the lack of cultural sensitivity and consideration for social exclusion processes by its creators results in increasing militarization of space in those communities, which restricts the long-term sustainability of those sports projects.Resumen: En este artículo se discute el uso del deporte para promover la paz a partir de los principales aspectos analizados en el contexto internacional, indicando las similitudes y las alteridades con las acciones promovidas en las zonas de pacificación de Río de Janeiro.
