Abstract

In an attempt to better understand any nation, it is necessary to examine the salient characteristics of that country's sociocultural process. The significance of the inter relationship of sport and society in Latin America, and specifi cally in Uruguay, reflects in part the rise as well as the demise of a republic struggling and battling with the problems and issues of advancing technology and industrialization as sec ondary industrial development begins to diffuse from its rapidly developing South American neighbors. This paper discusses the nexus between sport in the form of soccer and the parallel rise and demise of twentieth-century Uruguayan sociocultural development. Sport serves as a significant in dicator within Uruguayan society and tends to mirror the ex isting societal status. Sport may also serve as a form of social adaptation process for future Uruguayan sociocultural development.
