This article aims to analyze the emergency process and consolidation of the gender space of Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata club, in the context of the advancement of feminism and women’s movement in Argentina.Based on the ethnographic field work with the women who formed the gender area in 2018, it seeks to know how a group of female members and supporters of Gimnasia organize politically in the club with the aim of eradicating structural machismo and introduce gender perspective among its leaders, athletes and members. Consider the way in which a particular political learning takes place, which implies on the one hand establishing agreements and concessions with the executive committee and among the members of the area. And on the other hand, establish alliances with other institutions, which means processing football rivalries in new ways within the framework of the ideals of feminism, with conflict as a constituent element. The article allows to illuminate some characteristics of the broader social movement that refers to the Argentine women’s movement in relation to the broader process of conquering women’s rights in the region, within which the dispute for the right to play, narrate, direct and manage football has gained great prominence.
