What we will do

Hey, I’m Alberto, a 28-year-old film director and proud Botafogo fan! Football runs in my family—my great-grandfather was one of the first club associates—so being a Botafoguense is more than a passion, it’s tradition.

Come join me for an unforgettable Botafogo Matchday at the iconic Nilton Santos Stadium! You’ll be right in the heart of the action, seated in the longside sector, the most vibrant part of the stadium, where the energy and passion are unmatched.

What’s the experience like?

  • We’ll kick off the day by meeting in Copacabana, and from there, I’ll take you to the stadium via subway and train—just like a true local fan.
  • Once we arrive, we’ll join other Botafogo supporters at a traditional pre-match hangout, enjoying drinks and a local barbecue. I’ll fill you in on the rich history of Botafogo, its legendary players like Garrincha and Carlos Alberto Torres, and everything you need to know about Rio’s football culture.
  • Then, we’ll head into the Nilton Santos Stadium, built for the 2007 Pan American Games and used in the 2016 Olympics, where I worked as part of the broadcast team. Together, we’ll cheer for Botafogo in a sea of black and white, experiencing the passion and excitement firsthand.
  • I’ll be with you throughout the match, explaining the game’s key moments, team traditions, and what makes Botafogo such a special club. All you need to do is enjoy the game!

So, what are you waiting for? Book now and join me for an epic day filled with football, culture, and the unbeatable atmosphere of Botafogo!

Alberto ensured that I had an amazing experience at a recent Botofogo match-day. From start to finish, he was welcoming, funny and informative. Alberto’s passion for Botofogo was amazing to see. He was so knowledgable about the team and his English skills are outstanding. Alberto’s seats had amazing views and were amongst the most passionate of supporters. The atmosphere was particularly special pre-game and when the team scored. Throughout the experience, Alberto clearly communicated information and next steps to ensure the night flowed smoothly. I won’t forget my experience watching Botofogo! Thank you Alberto.

11/10 experience. If you want the full Botafogo experience Alberto is the way to go. We went to the Botafogo Vs Flamengo game which could get really heated because it's a local derby. He picked us up at the metro station and brought us back to the hotel after the game. He knew everything about his club and even told us stories and facts during the game, for example when a player got subbed. He connected us with local fans which were all really kind and happy to host us at their stadium. We are all Botafogo fans now. Couldn't have been better, thanks again!

Couldn’t ask for better people to go to a game with, top blokes that sang their hearts out celebrated everything and made us feel welcomed as a local at the game. Couldn’t recommend more highly. An experience we won’t forget about.
