The spaces of football clubs are striking constructions in the landscape and their fields are seen as a type of historical and cultural property which are representative of the places where they are inserted. It occurs in such way that it is possible to perceive that football goes beyond the limits of the sports scenario of competition and it conforms like a practice of the cultural arrangement of the cities. In view of the historical panorama of football in the city of Porto Alegre, the present study aims to investigate the historical process of formation of the first fields for the practice of football by the clubs of Porto Alegre, in the beginning of the 20th century. In order to accomplish this historical-documentary study, besides the bibliographical revision it consulted reports of newspapers and magazines. The sources analysis revealed that the first established clubs in the city, exclusively aimed at the practice of football, did not have a proper field at the time of its foundation, in the first decade of the twentieth century. The acquisition of space for sports practice was later and counted on the financial assistance of its members, besides the government support.
