Abstract
Football is a socio-cultural phenomenon that captures the attention of a large part of the population. This work reviews scientific literature of the last 5 years addressing the field of Spanish football, covering only articles related to the participation of women, children and those that address psychosocial variables. An exhaustive review has been carried out in which 212 documents were found. After exhaustively reading, they were reduced to 54 manuscripts that met previously established criteria. As a conclusion, a small number of publications on women and football were detected. Articles about football and children include the benefits of this practice for physiological, physical and health development. Finally, the most studied psychosocial variables in football were motivation, self-efficacy, anxiety, group cohesion and self-concept.
