Overview

Join me in an experience you will never forget – watch Flamengo at the iconic Maracanã Stadium!

Welcome to the ultimate Flamengo football experience in the iconic Maracanã Stadium, where passion and excitement for the beautiful game come to life! My name is Matheus, your local host at Flamengo, and I’m thrilled to introduce you to the thrill and excitement of supporting one of Brazil’s most successful clubs!

At Flamengo, we pride ourselves on a rich football heritage, with 8 league titles, 4 national cups, and 3 Copa Libertadores victories to our name. Our club has also been home to some of Brazil’s greatest football legends, including Zico, Adriano, Romário, Leonidas da Silva, and many others! In addition to being where young stars like Vini Jr and Lucas Paquetá emerged, today our squad boasts incredible talent, including stars like Gabigol, De Arrascaeta, David Luiz, De La Cruz, and more!


What will we do in this experience?

When you join me for this experience, I’ll take you on the best route to Maracanã, which is undoubtedly by subway. Before the game, we’ll grab a few beers and soak in the pre-game atmosphere with other local fans. I’ll share with you the most interesting stories about Flamengo and Rio de Janeiro football, providing insights into our club’s history and the competitions we compete in.

The Flamengo fans are a show unto themselves, providing a truly unforgettable atmosphere that’s worth the price of admission. In fact, some say that you should pay for two tickets for a Flamengo match – one for the football and another for the fans’ show! As we make our way to our seats, you’ll feel the energy and passion of our fans, and once the match begins, you’ll be swept up in the excitement of the game. It’s an experience that’s sure to stay with you for a lifetime!

Once the final whistle blows, the excitement doesn’t have to end! We can continue the post-game celebration at a local bar near the stadium, where you can indulge in more beers and some delicious local food. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and reflect on the game’s highlights and share your favorite moments with other fans. During this time, traffic around the stadium tends to be less chaotic, making it a convenient time to catch an Uber or taxi back to your accommodation. Alternatively, depending on the game and the subway schedule, we can also return directly to our meeting point by subway.

Don’t miss out on the chance to experience Flamengo at Maracanã Stadium, where the magic of football comes alive! With my expertise as a local host and your love for the game, this is an experience you won’t want to miss! Book your seats now and get ready to create memories that will last a lifetime!

FAQs

Is the match date confirmed?

The fixtures available for booking are those that have been announced, however, it is important to note that changes may occur, with the possibility of an advance or delay of one or two days. We recommend you to consider this when making your wider travel plans.

How will the host get in touch after booking?

After completing your booking, you will receive an official confirmation from Homefans. In the days leading up to the experience, the local host will be in charge of welcoming you and, later, providing detailed information about the experience. Hosts make contact a few weeks before the event via email and/or WhatsApp to ensure you are fully informed and prepared.

How many people will be on the tour?

The maximum number of people the host will allow is stated above. However this number may not always be met and it may even be possible that your party is on the tour on your own. Higher numbers make for a more sociable experience, lower numbers make for more personalised attention from your host. Look at it as a win/win!

Is it necessary to bring the passport to the game?

For the game itself, it is not necessary to bring your passport. You may take it for identification purposes only. We recommend that you carry a copy or photo on your phone for convenience.

Can I drink during the game?

Yes, it is allowed to consume alcoholic beverages before and during games in Brazil, with the exception of games in São Paulo, in which the consumption of alcoholic beverages is not permitted inside the stadium.

Is pick up and drop off included in the experience?

The transportation service is detailed in the “What you get” section. However, in group experiences, it is common for the local host to schedule a convenient meeting point, providing the opportunity for everyone to head towards the event together.

Where can I buy shirts, hats and other merch items to wear during the game?

If available, your local host can provide these additional items for your convenience. When booking, note whether the host offers these items as extra options. If so, simply select the desired items and the desired quantity. The local host will arrange these items in advance and deliver them personally when you meet for the experience.

What is the seating location?

Seating locations are specified in the “What you get” section.

Will everyone sit together during the game?

Yes, everyone will be together in the same sector, with the freedom to choose their own chairs. In Brazil, there are no assigned seats, allowing total flexibility in choosing seats.

Can I change my seat sector?

The possibility of upgrading will depend on the experience in question. If this option is available, you can upgrade by selecting extra items during the booking process. However, we recommend that you contact the local host in advance via the messaging tab to confirm availability and ensure a personalized experience.

What is facial recognition for stadium access?

For some clubs and stadiums in Brazil, it is necessary to register for facial recognition. Clubs that require this procedure are clearly indicated in the description of each experience. When booking your seats, the local host will contact you promptly to request the necessary information and guide you through the facial registration process. It is important to highlight that, for these clubs and stadiums, the registration of facial biometrics is mandatory, being the only way to access the stadium, as the ticket will be linked to this identification. Facial recognition registration is a policy of clubs and stadiums, and has no relationship with Homefans and/or local hosts. Furthermore, to participate in the experience, you must agree to go through this process and register your face.

Can people with reduced mobility participate in the experiences?

Although the experiences involve walking, yes, it is possible to participate. Please inform your local host of this consideration, and they will arrange the best and most comfortable way for you to participate.

Can I use credit cards or just cash?

It is possible to use both credit cards and cash outside and inside the stadium. However, it is important to note that it is not possible to use international debit cards considering you are a foreigner.

Can children / young adults join the tour?

If we can accept children there will be an option in the booking flow. However, for many trips our local hosts take the decision, based on the content of the tour, to open this up to adults only. If you are looking to travel with under 18’s, please feel free to contact us and we can discuss your options.

I want to start off by saying how brilliant of a host Matheus is. Me and my friend were travelling to Rio by bus, which was unfortunately caught in some bad traffic and therefore heavily delayed. Matheus communicated with us and arranged a meeting point for us, waited for us longer than was planned for the rest of the group and even managed to sort a place for us to store our large bags during the game. The game itself was incredible, the Maracana and the atmosphere was surreal. The experience of seeing a derby and especially in such a historic stadium cannot be overstated as to how amazing it is. Matheus also made sure that we got home all ok and made sure that we got our bags back after the game. He was a superb host and went above and beyond to make sure that everyone there enjoyed themselves. I cannot thank him enough for accommodating to our schedule, he is a brilliant host and I would recommend this experience of going to the Maracana to watch a game to everybody!

Fla-Flu derby at the Maracanã - an unforgettable experience!

Matheus is a great host who really makes the experience so unique. The pre-match atmosphere with locals having barbecues and a few beers was something which without Matheus would have been difficult to find - a great experience. The Maracanã itself definitely lives up to the hype & the atmosphere for the derby was incredible! Highly recommended if you find yourself in Rio for a match!

Flamengo vs Vasco

Amazing experience going to the Maracana with my Dad and brother to take in a Rio derby. Matheus and Pedro were brilliant hosts made sure everyone was enjoying themselves and involved whilst giving us a great background on flamengo and Brazilian football in general. Took us via metro to close to the ground where we got involved in the atmosphere and build up with some beers and BBQ. Even got to seen my man De Arrascaeta score a pearler. Book it you wont be disappointed

Flamengo X Vasco

Matheus and Pedro were great hosts and great lads, really made sure everyone was fully involved and part of the experience. Would 100% recommend these lads for anybody visiting Rio and hoping to catch some football at the Maracana.

Next level experience

Of course I knew about Brazilian passion for soccer. To experience it live in Rio, in the middle of the Flamengo fan zone, however, was a next level adventure. Mattheus knows the exact how to‘s to make this a great experience. Thank you!

Sun fun-and real

Matheus is laid back, cool and a great host. He even taught me how to fly his club’s flag at the end of the match. Been really trying to have more “authentic” experiences in travel lately, and this felt as real as it gets. Myself and my oldest girl (10) are pretty big football fans. My wife and youngest (9) not as much, but they had as much fun as we did. So if you’re debating this experience, go for it!

Great day at Maracanã

Brilliant day spent with Matheus at the Maracanã, he took us to a street where the fans meet for food and beers before the game then on to the match. His knowledge of Flamengo was excellent, I would highly recommend using Matheus if in Rio and wanting to go to a game to watch Flamengo.

I can recommend it to 100%

It was a great evening with Matheus at maracana. He picked us up like we agreed and we watched with him and other local fans a magnificent 5:0 win of flamengo. After the match he took us to our hotel. All in all everything worked, Matheus is very friendly. The atmosphere in maracana is incredible. A must do for every soccer fan.

Fantastic experience

As a football fan i had always wanted to visit the Maracana for a competitive game. The experience shared by Matheus did not let me down. From picking me up at my hotel, he shared a great knowledge of the Brazilian game, took me to meet and engage with his fellow fans, and had me in excellent seats in amongst a vociferous and passionate support, who were on their feet from the start until long after the final whistle. I'll look forward to using this service again for future games on my travels.

Wonderful experience

A must-do experience if you are visiting Rio de Janeiro, even if you are not a football fan! Matheus is a great host and all the tour is very well organized! The atmosphere is great during the match! It was a great day that continued even after the match, our group had such fan together that we decided to continue to stay together until late drinking some more beers!

Flamengo Matchday Experience

It was a great experience !!!! Pre-match immersed in the heat of Flamengo's Torcida and the match at the stadium becomes a party full of rhythm and songs that never stop. I was lucky enough to meet a wonderful group with whom after sharing the game I had the pleasure of being able to share all night around clubs. Recommended for everyone, not just football fans.

Flamengo Game

Good morning, Matheius showed me a good time at the Flamengo Game. My first time going to a Soccer ⚽️ game and I had a great time. He showed me where the Flamengo tailgate at and we ate barbecue as well. Then we had a good time at the game. Thanks again Matheius. 💯🤝

All good things come in threes. Flamengo's home game was also a lot of fun. Matheus as a Flamengo supporter will undoubtedly give you a great time. Many Thanks.

Authentic 🇧🇷 Football Experience

When you’re in Rio, you don’t want to miss out an authentic Brazilian football experience and there’s no better way of doing it than going to the Maracana. Matheus was very genuine and informative from the beginning to the end. He was gracious to meet me at where I was sightseeing and gave me experiences around the stadium well before the game. This was great because I was on my own for this game and we also met with other locals and tourists. Flamengo has some of the best fans in the world so be sure you catch a game!

Nada nos para!

Watching Flamengo at the Maracanã was the highlight of our trip to Rio, and we're so happy that we decided to go with Matheus. He takes away the stress of securing tickets, getting to the match and back, navigating the stadium etc. You will get to hang out with the fans pre-match, and then join them in the stadium. Matheus will give you the option to stand with the singing section, which I recommend - they're all really welcoming, and will even let you try out their flags and drums. The atmosphere was unlike any match that I've been to before, and thankfully we got a 3-1 win! This trip is a must for any trip to Rio

Most fun I had in Brazil!

We had an incredible time with Matheus attending the Flamengo game at Maracana. The energy in the stadium was out of this world, and it was so fun to be a real part of the action in the fan club with Matheus. As far as guides go, he was exceptional. He did an excellent job of making us feel safe and welcome at all times. His English is very good and he is a fun person to be around. It is a way better experience than trying to go to the game by yourself and figure it all out on your own. I definitely recommend doing a Flamengo game and going with Matheus makes it so much better!

Epic day!!!

What an epic day! Met some lovely people, had a wonderful time. Matheus was really great and very accommodating. He even paid for things out of his own pocket, until we could pay him back later, because we forgot to bring cash! My boyfriend is a big football fan, so he obviously enjoyed it, but even for myself, someone who knows hardly anything about football, I can definitely say I had such a good time and it felt like one big party with (new) friends!! Highly recommend :)

Great experience--do not miss!!!

Wow, what a FUN way to experience Brazilian football. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see a slice of life in Rio, even if you aren't a football fan. I went with my husband and teenaged daughter. My daughter and I don't care a bit about football but were going for the experience and it was a BLAST!!! We met our group near the stadium and had BBQ and beer before heading to the match. A side note, we were met and escorted from our hotel which was really nice. Matheus got us right in the middle of things and boy was it fun. We stood and cheered and sang along right in the middle of all of Matheus' friends. It was amazing. Matheus explained things very clearly and kept checking in with us to make sure we understood what was going on and if we were having a great time and did we need more beer. ;) Book this. You will not regret it. Best way to spend a few hours and get a real Rio local experience. I would 100% do this again if I am lucky enough to visit Rio in the future.

Definitely do it!

This was the best futbol/soccer game I have been to! The stadium is legendary. The team and fans are the most authentic. Our guides and friends were very cool, fun to hang out with, and helpful. They even sent us a picture of when we could be seen in the crowd. I felt very lucky to get to experience it. I’ve seen matches in Germany, and Argentina and Brazil was my favorite and so is the Jersey I bought when we were chanting around fireworks outside the stadium.

BEST experience ever

Went to the semi final of Copa Libertadores, Flamengo-Gremio (5-0) and this was the best football game experience in my life! The host, Matheus, is very friendly, he makes you feel comfortable, knows a lot of football and is the best host you can wish for. If you want to visit Flamengo, book this tour!
