Abstract
Ao longo da história do esporte se pode perceber como é comum alguns atletas passarem a representar países que não se relacionam à sua origem. A 24ª edição do Campeonato Mundial de Handebol Masculino Adulto 2015 ocorreu no Catar – um país árabe localizado no oriente médio que na modalidade está vinculado ao continente asiático. Um projeto do governo absolutista catari te buscado sediar alguns dos principais eventos esportivos internacionais. Até este mundial o handebol do Catar não tinha nenhuma expressão internacional. Entretanto, através de um processo de naturalização de atletas de diversos países, conseguiu reunir uma seleção com elevada competência técnica, o que culminou com a conquista da segunda colocação no evento. A naturalização e a dupla cidadania dos atletas são ações comuns nos esportes em geral e, neste caso, seguiram as normas da International Handball Federation (IHF). Esse expediente tem sido utilizado nos esportes em geral desde seus primórdios, aindanos Jogos Olímpicos da Antiguidade. Na atualidade, cada federação busca tratar de suas normas para o processo de permissão dessas inclusões de atletas não nativos. O objetivo deste ensaio foi traçar um paralelo entre esse fato ocorrido no handebol com a modalidade de futebol. Serão apresentados os indicadores desse processo de naturalização forçada no campo da política esportiva internacional que permitiu ao Catar formar essa equipe, que passou a ser questionada pelos demais países praticantes. Todavia, ao verificar as fichas informativas de outras seleções de handebol de alguns países europeus, pode-se notar que a naturalização é algo corriqueiro. O que parece ter criado esse descontentamento foi a falta de tradição esportiva do Catar, ocupando uma posição de destaque no mapa do handebol internacional.
Throughout sport’s history it can be noticed how common some athletes will represent countries which do not relate to their origin. The 24th edition of the World Adult Male Handball Championship occurred in 2015 in Qatar; an Arab country located in the Middle East that is linked through this sport to the Asian continent . A project from Qatari absolutist government has sought to host some major international sporting events. Up to this World Championship, Qatar’s handball had no international expression. However, through a process of naturalization of athletes from different countries, they got together a team with high expertise culminating with Qatar winning the second place at the event. The naturalization and dual citizenship of the athletes are c ommon actions in sports in general and in this case followed the rules of the International Handball Federation (IHF). This device has been used in sports in general since its inception yet in the Ancient Olympic Games. Nowadays, each federation seeks to deal with its rules for the inclusion permission process of these non-native athletes. The purpose of this essay is to draw a parallel between the fact that occurred in handball with the football game. This research will present the indicators of this naturalization process forced on the field of international sports policy that enabled Qatar to build this team, which was questioned by other participating countries. However, when checking the factsheets from other handballteams of someEuropean countries , it was observed that naturalization is commonplace. What seems to have created this discontent was the lack of sporting tradition in Qatar, occupying a prominent position on the map of international handball.
