The research was made up of questionnaires to the undergraduate students in Physical Education from three universities in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The results indicate gaps that need to be filled with respect to the initial training of Physical Education teachers regarding However, we highlight the progress made in the training of these teachers, considering that in the curricula of the courses there are subjects with content and contents that allow for the formation of the ethnic-racial relations perspective and can empower the future teachers, preparing them for the school to be a space of social transformation in which they can understand that there are different bodies in which they can apprehend that education for ethnic-racial relations is an important ally in the promotion of recognition of the other and of the dialogue between the different bodies existing in the school and in society making it fairer and democratic.
