As seleções de futebol multiculturais da União Europeia

The main objective of this research will be to present the historical evolution of the European Union's multicultural teams in the World Cup, mainly between 1990 and 2014, and to understand how social and immigrant factors influenced the growth of these teams, showing that the evolution of athletes with these characteristics was not be surprising, but a reflection of the changes that European countries passed and the social achievements of minorities in that period.The use of foreign football players by the European national teams happens since the first edition of the World Cup, however, from the decade of 1990 has been registering an increase of players in this profile.These teams are already widespread on the football scene and the tendency is for them is to grow even more as the current teams are a mirror of the EU's multicultural society.Those national teams also help to try understanding of these new national identities, which are reflective of the ethnic, cultural and migratory transformations that Europe has been experiencing since the 20th century.Although reasonably globalized, European football still has intolerance cases and prejudice due to the clash between traditional and new identities.Football, being one of the main activities in a popular culture, can help to better understand how this multiculturalism is reflected in identities in the context of the European Union, a trade bloc that turned 60 years in 2017
