Physical Education should provide students the means to enable them the exercise of their citizenship, which will allow them to acquire autonomy through critical reflection on the knowledge of practicing body movement. Nevertheless, in the school curriculum the subject still lacks support in order to organize its contents. As such, the target of this study is to highlight a number of relevant issues on the contents of football practice, which may be used in an attempt to codify Physical Education as a school subject. Nine issues are here presented, which discuss relevant aspects of football, as well as its correlation with art, its history, and the female football background. Fin ally, we get into a deeper study of the games used in popular culture and its link to football, through games such as "button football", including learning processes such as rule system, the interpretation of competitions, and the appraisal of popular culture.
