Abstract
El juego de pelota tuvo una importancia enorme dentro del desarrollo de la cultura maya principalmente por su carácter eminentemente religioso. Los mayas practicaron una variante del juego de este deporte mesoamericano y lo convirtieron en parte sustancial de sus vidas, como demuestran la cantidad de campos de juego conservados y su posición central en todos los yacimientos arqueológicos importantes de esta cultura. Asimismo, nos centraremos en la concepción del mito que lo justificaba y de su relación con los sacrificios humanos.

We will also focus on the conception of the myth that justified it and its relationship with human sacrifices.
