Abstract
ABSTRACT Research question The objective of this study was to map the budget resources allocated by the Brazilian federal government and examine the priorities of the national sports policies from 2004 to 2020. Research methods This quantitative-qualitative documental research was based on data regarding resources allocated by the Brazilian federal budget between 2004 and 2020, available in the portal SIGA Brazil. Results and findings We concluded that the Brazilian federal government allocated a total of US$ 4.9 billion to sports actions, which is 0.06% of the total federal budget. While the federal budget remained stable, with little annual changes, the sports budget significantly oscillated in real and percentage investment values. These were concentrated in infrastructure (US$ 3.2bn – 57.2%), educational/participation sports (US$ 712 m – 17.7%), elite sports (US$ 575 m – 14.3%), and management (US$ 436 m – 10.8%). Implications Although the hosting of mega-events has promoted increases in investments and attention in the sports area, these have not ensured a greater commitment to the promotion of educational/participation sport at the federal sphere. The biggest gains, although punctual and inconsistent, were concentrated in elite sport policy.
