- Title

- Abstract
We analyze the beginnings and growing social influence of organized sport in Galicia and Catalonia through a comparative perspective. The process began in gymnasiums, which initiated an associative model that played a role that the educational system lacked. It continued with the expansion of bicycling. The phenomenon became consolidated with the creation of football clubs in cities and towns. Football became a mass sport intimately linked with identity. The comparison between Galicia and Catalonia shows how these territories came to embrace organized sport around the same time, encouraged by identical social agents and a shared cultural universe.
