Traditionally, football in Sweden has been, and still seems to be, primarily a male game. This study is about the construction and reconstruction of gender in youth football in Sweden. Based upon a broad longitudinal material, comprising girls and boys in 47 teams in 31 clubs from the age of 13 to the age of 15, we can analyse gender differences dynamically, how they are being made and remade. Which differences are deepening, which differences are remaining constant, and which differences are being bridged, as the young players are getting more involved in the football field? Observing this, first of all, we try to demonstrate the existence of a male doxa. Though this doxa may seem to reproduce a traditional gender stereotyping, some of the gender differences may equally well be interpreted as a resistance to the male dominance of the field, yet still within the demands of the field. Among the girls, at the same time, we can discern not only resistance, but also a kind of over adaptation to the field. Though it is possible to observe a growing male hegemony over time, resonating with the field’s doxa, we can also see how the girls invest more in some other values of the game, as fair play and pleasure, than the boys do. There is nothing static about gender differences in youth football; in a process over time, they are rather being made, and remade, and perhaps also unmade.
