Abstract

The article focuses on the transition process from professional football to spectacle football, especially considering the potential power of Brazilian clubs in relation to other institutions of this field. At first, it is intended to highlight the main features of each stage of the transition and notice which institutions and agents held greater potential of power. Secondly, the attempt is to compare currently the ways of getting income in foreign and Brazilian clubs, considering the spectacularized logic in which the football is inserted. It is possible to affirm that the modernization process of Brazilian football is still incomplete. The transition from professional football to spectacle football, at least for the clubs, has not yet occurred in full.
