• Abstract: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the main ligaments in the knee. He is responsible for giving stability to the body, in addition to controlling the anterior translation of the tibia. Knee injuries are very common in sports, with an emphasis on ACL injury that can bring complications in functionality and general kinetic stability. One of the sports in which the injury stands out, due to the constant impacts, is soccer, as its sporting gestures subject the player to a set of functional overload injuries. When accounting for football exposure, women have a different injury risk profile than men due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This study is an investigative bibliographical review based on the analytical reading of scientific articles available in the main databases, that is, in SciELO, PubMed, PEDro, Medline, LILACS and Bireme-BVS. There are several risk factors that lead to injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament, and lead to the possible abandonment of sports. Professional follow-up with forms of prevention is extremely important, such as the prevention program developed by the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) and its Research Center, called FIFA 11+, in addition to an adequate look at the physical preparation of athletes and in the environment in which they are inserted.
