Abstract

The concept of inclusion in sports transcends mere integration, aiming to value human diversity and embrace differences to create genuine opportunities for everyone. To analyze this, a systematic review guided by the PRISMA statement was conducted, incorporating 31 articles published in English or Spanish between 2024 and 2025, sourced from databases like Scopus, ScienceDirect, and EBSCO. The results indicated that most studies were qualitative, focusing primarily on gender/sex inclusion (15 articles), followed by disability (6) and social inclusion (5), with a prevalence of general sports articles and football-specific content. The conclusions reveal that genuine inclusion in sports faces significant structural barriers, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, negative attitudes, lack of resources, and inaccessibility. These issues perpetuate inequalities for groups such as women, racialized individuals, migrants (especially vulnerable ones), and people with disabilities. The review highlights the necessity of moving beyond physical or symbolic access, advocating for a true sense of belonging and transforming sports structures through proactive strategies and inclusive policies, as research in many areas remains limited and superficial.
