The objective of the study was to identify and analyze governance aspects taken by Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) in conjunction with its various interest groups within the COVID-19 pandemic context. Data were collected from the institution's digital media between March and August 2020, and subjected to discourse analysis. 35 documents were cataloged (8 reports, 13 news, 2 notes and 12 posts on the official website and social networks). Documents were categorized into decision-making processes, demands, actions and desires. CBF tried to respond to the impacts of the pandemic by articulating speeches that permeate the emotional and affective dimensions attached to soccer as part of the national identity, as well as linked to the market perspective of professional soccer.
