By relying mainly on archives produced by the sports movement, football historians have neglected autonomous practices that develop outside of clubs. Thanks to the analysis of archives from the public administration, this article sheds light on practices whose analysis relates to the legitimate uses of urban space and reveals social issues different from those of established sport: alongside an official sport dominated by men, autonomous football is marked by a much higher proportional presence of women, who play a role of authority in the sports socialisation of young people.
