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.
