SUMMARY
No desporto contemporâneo é comum encontrar atletas a representar equipas de nacionalidades que não a sua, sendo que em algumas modalidades os jogadores estrangeiros se encontram em maioria em relação aos nacionais. Por outro lado é também comum constatar a presença de atletas que, em virtude de mudança de nacionalidade, representam outros países que não o seu. Estas situações resultam de migrações de trabalho desportivo, em que os atletas à semelhança de outros trabalhadores atravessam fronteiras de países, impelidos por forças sociais, políticas e económicas que os transcendem. As abordagens teóricas feitas a este fenómeno, apesar de recentes, permitem uma compreensão ampla das dinâmicas e complexidades. Este texto propõe-se problematizar as migrações de trabalho desportivo no âmbito das migrações gerais, revisitando as elaborações teóricas que interpretaram esta mobilidade de atletas.Palavras-chave: Migrações.

On the other hand, it is also common to note the presence of athletes who, due to the change of nationality, represent other countries than their country of birth. These situations result from the migration of workers of sport, in which athletes, like other workers, cross country borders driven by social, political and economic forces that transcend them. The theoretical approaches to this phenomenon, although recent, allow a broad understanding of dynamics and complexities. This text proposes to problematize the migrations of workers of sport in the scope of the general migrations, revisiting theoretical elaborations that interpreted this mobility of athletes.Keywords: Migration.
