Abstract: Introduction: Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, currently more research has focused on nutrition, body composition and performance. The aims study to describe body composition, assess hydration status and knowledge of soccer players. Methodology: Body composition was assessed by electrical bioimpedance (BIA) and anthropometry according to the ISAK protocol. Hydration was assessed by urine specific gravity (UGS). Knowledge of nutrition, supplementation and hydration was measured by survey. Results: Amateur soccer players presented 48.2% muscle mass and 24.7% body fat according to anthropometry. BIA showed 47.4% muscle mass and 14.2% fat. Regarding hydration, 82.9%, that is, 8 out of 10 soccer players were in a state of dehydration prior to playing a game. The nutrition knowledge survey yielded an average of medium knowledge. No player scored high. Conclusion: Amateur soccer players present lower muscle mass and more body fat than the ideal recommended for professional soccer. BIA can be a complementary technique for nutritional assessment in soccer players. Most soccer players are in a state of dehydration prior to games, which can decrease performance as well as increase the risk of injury. The nutritional knowledge of the players was classified as medium. It is of great importance that soccer clubs have sports nutritionists to advise on these aspects.
