Abstract
Social relations – as social capital – work by providing and facilitating information for the individuals involved. In the context of voluntary organizations, this could imply that members acquire more knowledge and develop stronger commitments to social and political issues. At a very general level, this simply means that those active in any voluntary organization are richer in social capital than those outside. Sports correspond with social capital not only as a form of self‐confidence but also as a form of respect for rules and for the other. Sport belongs to everyone and it becomes the mirror of social facts. It has a key role in the building of social capital because we live in an era absorbed by the image we have or see depicted of the world around us. It has been defined by Stuart Hall as the “culture circuit.” In this sense, social culture is understood more as a set of practices in which people are participants and which give a meaning to objects and events.
