Overview

Do you love football? Join me in one of the most memorable experiences that a football lover can have in Rio de Janeiro: a Fluminense match at Maracanã! You will have an authentic experience of going to a Fluminense match as if you were a local fan and living the culture of Rio de Janeiro football.

Our Fluminense Match Day Experience will take you through a day filled with football, culture, and history as you will experience a match in the incredible Maracaña, in Rio de Janeiro. This private tour will leave you filled with unforgettable memories and a ton of amazing highlights.

The Maracanã Stadium is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic in the world! It has already hosted two World Cup finals among other major world football competitions! In addition, it’s home to Fluminense matches, one of the most traditional teams in the country!

You will have the chance to meet Fluminense supporters, with colours which are easily identified by the striking contrast of maroon, green and white, earning the team its nickname of “tricolor carioca”. Founded in 1902, it has a notable history of success with 31 wins at state championships and four wins at Brazilian National League!

We will meet in a preset meeting point and we will go to the stadium by metro. This is much nicer because we will be in contact with other fans who will be going to the match and with other people who are in their daily lives. On the surroundings of the Maracanã, we will take a tour around the stadium and to the location of our pre-match with by several Fluminense fans. We will drink some beers (or other drink you want) and eat some barbecues! Here I’ll tell you the best stories about Fluminense and Rio de Janeiro football and you’ll find out about the clubs and competitions!

Inside the stadium you will be among one of the most passionate fans in the country and will have the opportunity to cheer along with the ultras/organized supporters groups! After being in a game full of emotions and being sure that you will have amazing memories for the rest of your life, it’s time to head back to the hotel!

At the Maracaña you will be able to experience a home match of Fluminense together with a local who will guide you throughout the evening. No need to worry about planning where to go, how to get a ticket for entrance or how to travel. We got you covered.

Incredible experience in the Final Fluminenes vs Flamengo

Pedro was a great guide, and we lived the match in another level at Maracana. We coudn´t have had a better experience and also been able to watch the final. Pedro was very friendly, all the time he was asking us if we are confortable. We lived the real brasilian experience in that match Thanks Pedro, I will recommend Pedro 100%

Incredible experience and great guide

Pedro was our guide for a Fluminese game at the Maracana. We couldn't have had a better experience- Pedro was welcoming, friendly and insightful. We felt completely safe whilst also having a really fun time. The matchday experience is incredible. I would 100% recommend going to a game with Pedro when visiting Rio.

Fluminense FC Incredible Experience! Must-Do while in Rio

An absolutely incredible night seeing a Fluminense/Vasco match at historic Maracanã — I would say that this was “once-in-a-lifetime,” but I have no doubt that I’ll be back in Rio and will sign up for another Fluminense match with Pedro when I do. He was an amazing host — kind, welcoming, and looked out for our safety at all parts of the night. He taught us the history of the club, the rivalries, and sitting deep in the “fan section” was an experience I’ll never forget (we left drenched in baby powder and beer in the best way possible). The cost included some drinks, food, match tickets, and Ubers at the end of the night to ensure we all got SAFELY back to Copacabana as a group. Special thanks as well to Pedro’s friend Rafaella and Pedro's brother too, who were instrumental in making sure we had fun and were safe and together as a group. I will absolutely return for another game (in my Fluminense jersey of course, and with some improved Portugese to go along with it); I consider Pedro my Brazilian brother now, and hope to return the favor at Yankee Stadium in NYC sometime soon! You won’t regret this 10-out-of-10 experience in Rio.

Amazing Derby Experience

To be honest, I've been sceptical about booking via homefans and go to the Fla-Flu-Derby with a tour guide. But I was desperated, common tickets were sold out and I at all cost wanted to get into the legendary Maracana. So I gave it a try - and really got surprised. Pedro not only was one of the nicest guys I've ever met, he also really is a passionate Fan of Fluminense, taught me a lot about Brazilian football culture and gave me and my girlfriend the best experience: we drank beer with the locals, he even got us into the supporters section (he seem to know everyone) and booked us a taxi back to our hostel. He really took care of us. The atmosphere was outstanding, a football match I will remember for a long time. I normally don't write reviews, but if someone deserve it then Pedro. Give him your money - you won't regret it.

Fluminese - Botafoga Derby: Awesome Experience

We went with a group of 12 friends together with our guide Pedro and his brother to the derby game Fluminese-Botafoga last week! I can still feel the rush and excitement when I think back on it! This was an experience I will remember all my life. First of all I would like to thank homefans! Everything from planning, questions and payment went very smooth! This organization is the best if you would like to see a football game abroad! They got me in contact with Pedro (our local host and Ultra fan of Fluminese)! I contacted Pedro for some extra questions before the game and he was super responsive and enthusiastic! He picked us up at the hotel to go pre-gaming in the streets around Maracana. So much fun to be among the real fans! Entering Maracana for me was as stepping in football heaven! Such a memorable temple!!! He found us some great ‘seats’ (nobody’s sitting! 😂😂) among the Fluminese Ultras! We sang , drank and jumped all match! So much fun! Pedro explained us the history of the club, why he’s so fanatic and his love of the game! I’m a big football fan, but my American friends never saw a match in person! Everybody (girls and boys) still say this was the highlight of our Brazilian trip! This is a must do! Pedro thank you for the amazing experience! We’ll stay in touch!!! Homefans thank you for setting this up!

Amazing FlaFlu experience

I have been to many football games, but the FlaFlu derby in Maracana was a once-in-a-lifetime experience - also thanks to our guide Mattheus. This guy „breathes“ football and Flamengo. He made sure that we get the real Rio derby experience including pre-Game gatherings with the fans and seats right in between the most passionate supporters. He made sure we’re feeling comfortable and are safe the entire night. This wouldn’t have been possible without him. Obrigado!
