The present study's main objective was to analyze the relationship between group cohesion and competitive anxiety in initiation soccer players. The literature has shown that the task factors of group cohesion are inversely related to competitive anxiety, although this aspect has not been explored in children's sports. 60 soccer players participated in the study belonging to different categories of a sports club and with a mean age of 12.32 years (DT = 1.73). The results revealed that those players who scored high in group integration in the task showed less concern about the competition, in the same way, players with high group social attraction showed less concern about the competition. These results are discussed concerning to the previous literature, finding differences with the functioning of the cohesion-anxiety relationship in the population of young athletes and professional and semi-professional adults.
