Abstract

This descriptive-exploratory study conducted a comparative analysis of the behavior of municipalities in the South region of Brazil when funding the Community Sport sub-heading from 2005 to 2014. Data on resources invested in the Sport and Leisure Heading were collected on the National Treasury website. Adherence to and spending on the sport community sub-heading has been high in the region. The results also indicate that municipal governments are the main funders of that agenda in the region when compared to top-down decentralization. General data reveal intense political activity around the sport and leisure agenda in the region and that municipalities have been important actors in implementing public sports policies even without federal regulation.
