Sažetak
In Croatia, the most popular sport is football, not only in terms of participation but also in spectatorship. The suitable definition of football in Croatian society could be described as “the most important of the least important things in life”. Studying women’s football as a social phenomenon gains sociological understanding of not only sport, but also related issues such as masculinity, femininity or gender issues. Most sports around the world are defined as men’s activities, resulting in half of the world’s population generally being excluded or discouraged from participating in many sports (Coakley & Pike, 2009). Despite that, in recent years there is a big increase in women’s participation in football. Although it is still predominantly played by boys and men, the number of female players, coaches and referees is continuously increasing (Pope & Pfister, 2018). In this paper we analyzed the question of social/gender equity through women’s football in Croatia as a mirror of Croatian society and a tool for changing stereotypes and prejudices. These issues were explored via qualitative interviews and participant observations. The interviews were structured around four key themes: Sport in Croatian society, Women in Croatian society, Football in Croatian society, Women in football in Croatian society. The results focused on data relating to how these female players entered football, their experiences in a male defined traditional society, and explaining the relationship between football and widespread beliefs about masculinity, femininity, sexuality, etc.
