The aim of the study was to verify the profile of the body composition, somatotype and physical fitness the young soccer players for game position. 23 players of the masculine sex of the under-20 old were evaluated. The somatotype was calculated by the anthropometric method and the body composition was dear through the bioelectric impedance. For the analysis of the physical fitness the tests of explosive strength of lower limbs, agility, velocity, abdominal endurance and aerobic fitness. The center backs and strikers are heavier and with larger amount of lean body mass (LBM) in relation to the median fields and running backs, addition, the center backs are higher than the other players. The players medium somatotype was of 2.6-3.7-3.3 (ectomorphic – mesomorphic), they were not found differences among the game positions (p>.05). Finally, athletes of median fields and running backs they were faster than the goalkeepers and center backs (p<.05), they were not found significant differences among the positions studied for the other variables of the physical fitness. We concluded that center backs and strikers have advantages in anthropometric variables, however, median fields and running backs are fasters. The somatotype group of players was ectomorphic – mesomorphic.
