%X this article researches the social uses in maputo of what is here called the ¡°narrative of portuguese football¡±. the relation between the portuguese populations in the capital of mozambique with this narrative will be interpreted as a critical exam of the connection made between football as a particular consumption, taken as a characteristic of the national culture, and the existence of a portuguese community. represented as a homogenised whole this community reifies the logic of a national history. in maputo¡¯s case, however, the study of portuguese football allows not only to -confront the homogenising discourse on national communities but also to question that transnational community called lusophone, which gathers a group of countries supposedly united by a cultural heritage.
