Soccer as a global phenomenon is present in the Greater Antilles, although historically, and especially after the Cuban Revolution, baseball became the sport linked to national representation. Today, however, there are fans who revitalize interest in international soccer without breaking with the Cuban national identity, and there are even groups that strive for the competitive growth of their team in the world concert. This does not mean that they are participants in static and homogeneous symbolic representations, illustrated by institutionalized Cubanness. Consequently, a sports discipline such as soccer shows transnational connections in Cuba, and becomes an example and engine of transformations, from those linked to consumption and technological innovations.
