Tactical knowledge that is accessible, practical and aligned with professional football.
About the project
Our story
Entendendo o Jogo was created in 2018 on Instagram to share the knowledge Ítalo Resende (its founder) was studying and acquiring in his free time, in a more concise and simple way, so that anyone interested in understanding football better could access it.
From then on, Entendendo o Jogo became increasingly influential in spreading specialist knowledge of football tactics. With this growth it became a reference in tactical courses and education, launching the “Football Course: Game Situations” during the pandemic, which brought together more than 340 students.
Today, Entendendo o Jogo offers free learning through Instagram and paid learning through its courses, which follow three core pillars:
