    Journal Article

    This article is based on ethnographic research conducted in Warsaw in 2016-2018 among women playing football in an amateur league. It asks if the microcosm of the league can be understood as a safe space for young women to test, negotiate and challenge the boundaries of gender and sexuality in relative safety, or rather as a heterotopy, disturbing and violating specific social order. I assume that playing football is a strategy of resistance to dominant patterns connecting football with men, and also to heterosexism, strongly present in a sporting context.
