| description | Sport, especially soccer—since its genesis—has been a hyper masculinized territory, characterized by strength, vigour and rudeness. This not only left women out of its practice for a long time, but also those men who did not fit into hegemonic masculinity were excluded for decades from an official practice. In terms of intersectionality, the word refers to men from the LGBTIQ+ community who, for not complying with the physical and attitudinal stereotype, were stigmatized and forced to seek stereotypical sports practices, or where the standards did not make a difference or confrontation with the sexual identity. Social movements for the recognition of sexual diversity impact the sports field by recognizing the different manifestations of the human being beyond the binary gender. The objective of the article is to tell the 19-year history of the Monarcas team, in the state of Colima (Mexico), and why it marks a milestone by becoming a group of football players who do not fit into the binary gender scheme and who promote the rights to freedom, healthy living and sports, to make aplace for themselves as champions in a heteronormative territory. The methodology used is feminist ethnography, supported by documentary sources and semi-structured interviews as primary sources for the construction of the spatial, historical environment and influence of the club on the LGBTIQ+ sports movements of the region and the country.

El deporte, especialmente el futbol —desde su génesis—, ha sido un territorio hipermasculinizado, caracterizado por la fuerza, el vigor y la rudeza. Esto no solo dejó durante mucho tiempo a las mujeres fuera de su práctica, sino que también aquellos hombres que no encajaban en la masculinidad hegemónica fueron excluidos por décadas de una práctica oficialista. En términos de la interseccionalidad, el vocablo alude a los hombres de la comunidad LGBTIQ+ que, por no cumplir con el estereotipo físico y actitudinal, fueron estigmatizados y orillados a buscar prácticas deportivas estereotipadas, o donde los estándares no marcaran una diferencia o confrontación con la identidad sexual. Los movimientos sociales para el reconocimiento de la diversidad sexual impactan en el ámbito deportivo al reconocer las distintas manifestaciones del ser humano más allá del género binario. El objetivo del artículo es contar la trayectoria de 19 años del equipo Monarcas, en el estado de Colima (México), y por qué marca un hito al constituirse como un conjunto de jugadores de fútbol que no entran en el esquema binario del género y que promueven los derechos a la libertad, la vida sana y el deporte, para hacerse un lugar como campeones en un territorio heteronormativo. La metodología utilizada es etnografía feminista, apoyada por fuentes documentales y entrevistas semiestructuradas como fuentes primarias para la construcción del entorno espacial, histórico e influencia del club en los movimientos deportivos LGBTIQ+ de la región y el país.
