Opening text of the Football Museum

Jaraguá Kunhangue Ouga'a — The Jaraguá Women's Game is the first exhibition at the Soccer Museum to focus on indigenous soccer. It highlights the experiences of the Guarani Mbya women of the Jaraguá Indigenous Land in the northwest of São Paulo. In partnership with the production companies Arte In Vitro Filmes and Lusco Fusco Filmes, the exhibition reveals that soccer is more than just a game for these women—it is also an expression of their identity, resistance, and joy amidst the urban context.

Jaraguá Kunhangue Ouga' a

The "Jaraguá Kunhangue Ouga'a" (The Jaraguá Women's Game) exhibition celebrates the soccer played by the Guarani Mbya women of the Jaraguá Indigenous Land in the northwest of São Paulo.

Ka'a ritual

The ka'a (yerba mate) ritual marks the transition from one season to the next in Guarani villages. It is usually celebrated during the change from winter to spring, when the new season, Ara Pyau (spring and summer), is commemorated.

In the field

The objects on display in this section are part of the nhandereko, a Guarani term that means "our way of being." In addition to traditional items, other objects have also become part of the nhandereko, such as soccer balls and cameras.

Tournaments

During tournaments organized by the Guarani, players from other Indigenous Lands also compete in the Jaraguá territory. There are mixed tournaments that alternate between men's and women's championship games. There are also exclusively women's tournaments.
