Botafogo FR MatchDay Experience

5 (4 reviews)  •  South America, Rio de Janeiro

Hi my name is Alberto and I’m a 28 years old Botafogo fan! I work as film director and producer in Rio and a great soccer enthusiast, especially Botafogo. As we say as Botafogo’s supporters, we were chosen, and in my case couldn’t be different. Being a Botafoguense is a tradition in my family, passed by generations since my grand granfather, who was one of the 10 first supporters to become a club associate.

Important: the experience gives you the ticket to the longdside sector, where is the most vivid sector of the stadium.

Founded in 1904, Botafogo is one of Brazil’s oldest and most traditional clubs. Over the years, the team has won countless titles and produced Brazilian soccer legends such as Garrincha and Carlos Alberto Torres. Although they’ve had ups and downs throughout their history, Botafogo are currently in great shape, fighting in the Libertadores and with a great chance of doing well in the Brazilian championship. You’ll have the chance to see this incredible team in action at the Nilton Santos stadium, together with me and my friends who are also passionate Botafogo fans.

Imagine joining a local guide who is passionate about soccer for a full day of fun, culture and history of Rio soccer. We’ll start our day at a meeting point in Copacabana, where I’ll take you by subway and train to the stadium. Then, we’ll meet other Botafogo fans in a traditional place were Botafogo’s fans hustle up to enjoy the pre-match moment. There you can enjoy drinks and a barbecue while learning more about Rio’s soccer culture and Botafogo’s history and getting the inside scoop on the clubs and competitions! After soaking up the pre-match atmosphere, we’ll head to the stands!

We will then embark on an exciting journey at the Nilton Santos Stadium. The building was completed in 2007 and hosted the athletics games at the 2016 Olympic Games, that I was part of the broadcasting team. This is where the action really begins! You’ll have the chance to join the passionate Botafogo fans, supporting their team in a unique and vibrant atmosphere. I’ll be by your side throughout the game, explaining the moves and the club’s traditions.

You won’t have to worry about a thing – the experience includes a ticket to the game, a guide who speaks fluent English and even a barbecue and a local beer to make your experience even more special.

So, what are you waiting for? Don’t miss the chance to join us on an incredible and unforgettable soccer adventure! Book your place on the Botafogo Matchday Experience now and get ready for a unique and exciting experience you’ll never forget.
