Abstract
Este artículo analiza, a partir de un trabajo de campo etnográfico, las relaciones entre Cultura Saprissa (CS) y La Ultra Morada (UM), las cuales están determinadas por diferencias de clase que atañen directamente al Deportivo Saprissa S.A. Sostengo que los vínculos de privilegio que se dan entre CS y el Club han generado disputas clasistas que propician desequilibrios e injerencias políticas en beneficio de los favorecidos (CS) y en contra de los desfavorecidos (UM). Es menester acotar que este tipo de dinámicas de clase en el interior de grupos relacionados con el fútbol han sido poco abordadas en Costa Rica y Centroamérica, por lo cual, es necesario visibilizarlas para comprender cómo se dan estas interacciones dentro de organizaciones ligadas a uno de los deportes más importantes del mundo: el fútbol.
This article analyzes, based on ethnographic fieldwork,the relationships between Cultura Saprissa (cs) and LaUltra Morada (um), which are shaped by class differences that directly affect Deportivo Saprissa S.A. I arguethat the privileged ties between cs and the Club haveled to class-based disputes, creating imbalances andpolitical interference that benefit the privileged (cs)and disadvantage the underprivileged (um). It is necessary to note that these types of class dynamics within football-related groups have been scarcely studied inCosta Rica and Central America; therefore, it is essentialto make them visible in order to understand how theseinteractions take place within organizations connectedto one of the world’s most important sports: football.
