What we will do

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.

Pedro was a great host, took us to a local spot pre game where all the Fluminense fans gathered for some local food, drinks and some music. Pedro then took us in to the iconic Maracana where the atmosphere was electric throughout the 90 minutes! Would definitely recommend booking with Pedro to watch Fluminense, what a top top day!

This was an amazing experience. Pedro was a great host. We got to chant and have conversations with local fans in rio. The historic Maracanã stadium lives up to its name.

I had an amazing time watching the match between Fluminense and Volta Retonda with Pedro and his brother as my tour guides. Both of them were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured that I had a fantastic experience. Their professionalism and passion for football were evident throughout the tour. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in Rio. Thank you, Pedro and team, for making my match day so special!

Pedro was a very helpful and attentive host, my friends and I had a great experience! My friend had a little hiccup getting her tickets and he resolved the issue with ease. Very easy to communicate with and gave us some recommendations for the rest of our stay. Would definitely recommend as a must-do activity in Rio and Pedro is the right choice!

Fantastic day from start to finish! After booking with Pedro got a quick response on a plan for the day where to meet what we will be doing pre match and directions on how to get to the ground met a few hours before kick off and had beers with other fans in the street which was like a party atmosphere with everyone in good spirits short walk into the stadium to watch the game and then helped everyone get back in taxis to any location you needed 10/10 a must go when visiting Rio

Pedro was a fantastic host and showed us a great time. The seats he got us were great and right beside all of the energetic fans. We got to meet other people from over the world also visiting Rio and it was nice to meet new people. The match and stadium was wonderful. It was a great and safe experience. Thank you Pedro!

Pedro, I want to say muito obrigado! It was a great experience at the game but even your service of being incredibly responsive and I can say the whole group felt very well looked after! Going to see a football game at the Maracanã has always been a dream and it came true! The atmosphere was electric and we sat with the local fans to truly experience it like a local! 10/10 recommend !!!

Kristen Billiar

So happy we booked the “experience” and didn’t just buy tix. It was a great way to meet others including Cariocas and truly see the game like a local. Even though it wasn’t a big game and the stands were half empty, our section was packed and the “band” played and the fans sang the entire 90 minutes! What a blast! Pedro was super chill and informative (as were some of the other fans). My teenage daughter and I toured all of Rio but our highlight was the match! Fluminense fans forever!

Pedro was the absolute best host we could have asked for. From start to finish, getting us through the process of ordering tickets, arranging the meetup for pre-game, introducing us to a group for some fun, and getting us through security to the match all went off without a single problem. Once inside the environment was festive and high-energy right in the heart of the fan support section for Fluminense at Maracana. Afterwards, Pedro made sure to get us all out to an area with easy access to multiple transit options that was safe and reliable. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Pedro if you're looking to go to a match !

As soon as I booked the tickets for me and my girlfriend to go to the Fla-Flu Derby, Pedro was very helpful and communicative explaining what the day would consist of and if we had any questions. He helped us get organised getting our facial recognition prepared for the Maracana as was required for the ticketing system, which was seamless. On the day, we met Pedro very easily. He took us to a street where all the fans were drinking, we had drinks with the local fans, chanted with them and Pedro making sure that we were all safe. But he didn’t need to do too much, as the atmosphere was very safe throughout. In the stadium it was amazing, although it ended 0-0, it was the best atmosphere I’d ever been to. And being with the fans, drinking in the stands, chanting with them was a once in a lifetime experience. If you are going to Rio, I’d highly recommend contacting Pedro for an easy way to experience the great atmosphere and support Fluminese. 10/10

Pedro is a great host! We felt safe during the whole experience, the tickets he got were right next to the screaming fans, so we got a great experience. Would definitely recommend

attending a football match in Brazil has always been on my bucket list, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations! From the electrifying atmosphere to the sheer passion of the fans, this was an experience I’ll never forget. Our guide was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. He took care of everything, from getting us great seats to explaining the chants and traditions, making the experience even more immersive. The energy in the stadium was unreal—drums beating, fans singing at the top of their lungs, and an intensity that you can only find in Brazilian football. It’s something you have to witness firsthand to truly understand. If you’re in Rio and even remotely interested in football, this is a must-do. And when I’m back, I wouldn’t do it with anyone else but this guide. 10/10, highly recommended!

We had an excellent experience at the legendary Maracanã. The atmospehere was awesome with the Fluminense fans. Everything was well organized. Pedro helped us with the transport, picked us up without any waiting time and speaks perfect english. After the match we had a few beers together and had all together an awesome time. Would recommend everybody who visits Rio! Thank you!

I attended fluminense v botafogo with pedro and had a amazing evening with pre game meet up with fans before the game outside the maracana finishing with the fans after for a beer and safe spot to order a uber. The match itself was a tense derby affair with fluminense losing with the last kick of game but the atmosphere was great all ga i me and an amazing experience to be part of it. pedro was a 1st class host and hope to see you again in rio for another game

Me and some friends went to the Fla Flu derby game back in July 2023 (sorry for being so slow to write a review Pedro!) and it was such a great experience. He made us all feel very welcome and we got to soak up the atmosphere together before the game. Great organisation and communication. The seats were great and Pedro was the perfect host for giving you the full fan experience. There is a great passionate and friendly family atmosphere in the stadium and it's beautiful to see (as well as the great football of course). Força Flu!

What a great experience! A live match is so much more fun than a static tour. As family we experienced a super fun and safe environment before and during the match. Thanks on behalf of the whole family.

I had a very good experience with Homefans and Pedro for a Fluminense home game at Maracana. Communication and arrangement were perfect and safe, and you will get the best feeling of the atmosphere before and during the game as you will be together with the real and local Fluminense fan. Highly recommended if you want to see and feel the passionate Brazilians fan and see the iconic Maracana Stadion.

Watched Copa Libertadores Match vs Cerro Porteno at the Maracanar, the home of Brazilian football. Firstly what a stadium, what an experience and what an atmosphere! Pedro was a great host showing us places to drink beforehand and after. Felt really safe throughout. Although it is slightly expensive would 100% recommend this if you like football and want to see how passionste Brazilians are about their football

Great night at that Fla Copa Lib match v Pedro Porteno. Pedro was a conscientious host who looked after us very well and made us feel safe (although the atmosphere pre and at the match was very friendly and not threatening in any way). Great fun pre-match drinks in the streets outside bars with Pedro, his mates and other Flu fans. Fun and diverse group with guests from the Cayman Islands, U.K. and Italy. Sole travelers (m or f) feel very safe and I highly recommend

Pedro is an amazing host who took care of everyone from start to finish. He gave us all a comprehensive background on the club before taking us to mingle with all the home fans and having a couple of beers. The Fluminese fans are passionate and the the atmosphere was electric, to witness a game at the Maracana is a once in a lifetime experience. Pedro helped navigate us out the ground, some went home in cabs but we chose to have drinks and soak up the atmosphere further. A match day experience with Pedro is a must if you are in Rio!

Navigating the entry points and neighborhoods can be daunting for a tourist, and Pedro's Homefans experience was the perfect way to enjoy the game without the stress. Partying with the local Fluminense fans before the game was also a highlight, as they are so welcoming and fun to hang with. Best part was that Pedro's communication was solid, and he even spotted me my cab fare because I ran out of Reals (stupid tourist, I know). Thank you my friend!

Absolutely brilliant evening with Pedro! We had an amazing pre-match experience with the locals and superb seats with amazing views of the game. Pedro looked after us so well from start to finish - would strongly recommend using Pedro for any Fluminense matches - he is a die hard fan, knowledgeable guide and it was an excellent experience from start to finish! It was extra special watching Fluminense coming back from behind to win the cup too on 29th Feb!!!

We had the best night at a football match in the Maracana stadium. Pedro guided us through the evening perfectly and we felt safe throughout! We started the evening with some beers close to the stadium before we walked there. The atmosphere in the stadium is the best. Its an absolute must to cross off your list if you’re a football fan in Rio.

We really enjoyed attending a football match at the legendary Maracaná Stadium. And then even a game of the newly crowned champion of South America Fluminense! Because Pedro was so organised, everything was super relaxed and we were able to enjoy the trip perfectly. The atmosphere in our group and in the stadium was great and Pedro was always ready with lots of additional information about the club. It was a great trip, thanks again Pedro!

Seth Franz

5.0 • 04/12/2023

I would strongly recommend going to the world-famous Maracana if you are visiting Rio and I even more strongly recommend doing it through Pedro. Pedro was an amazing host. He was kind, organized, friendly, and happily answered any questions about Rio, football in Brasil, or anything else that I or the others in my group had. I have been to two other matches at the Maracana and this one was by far the best experience because Pedro was there to show us a great time before and during the match and help us get home safely after the match.

Pedro is a serious, caring, very funny and authentic host. We had a brillant Football-Night at Maracana watching Fluminense vs Sao Paulo, loaden with atmospere. Exactly what we were looking for !

Jamie Gilzean

5.0 • 27/11/2023

Pedro was a excellent host, who happily answered all my questions prior to the match experience and even went out of his way to source me tickets for the Brazil v Argentina match the same week, which he didn’t have to do. Pedro went above and beyond for me acting more as a friend than a guide during my short time in the city. The overall experience was also excellent, with Pedro ensuring seats in an area with an amazing atmosphere and perfect view to ensure a top experience. Prior transport to the stadium was also organised ensuring we arrived early enough for pre match drinks which Pedro also organised for the group. So overall a top experience and an even better guide which I would highly recommend.

My friend and I watched the semi final first leg Copa Libertadores match between Fluminense and Internacional at the Maracana and what a game we were treated to - 4 goals and a sending off! Pedro is an excellent host and he promised us a pre match street party with drinks before the game and he didn't let us down. I have never experienced a prematch atmosphere like that before. It was absolutely brilliant! Our seats were located behind the goal and for the whole time we were there, we were joining in with all of the singing and bouncing around. This was the first football game of my South American trip and it was certainly a memorable one. After the game, Pedro made sure that we all got home safely. I can't recommend Pedro and the Fluminense Matchday experience enough! It was certainly a 5 star experience.

The experience was phenomenal! It was my first time at a match in Brazil and it lived up to my expectations. Before the game we went to the local bars and met other Fluminense fans. During the game, the crowd was insane, chanting all game and even afterwards. Amazing experience if you’re in Rio and love football, I 100% recommend.

To whoever is still wondering whether they’ll book a match experience with my man Pedro or not, do not hesitate further and go for it, Pedro is the goat. My friends and I loved so much the journey he planned for us. A wonderful experience with someone who's deeply in love with Fluminense and has been so nice to us. One again thank you Pedro, we'll never forget our Maracana experience thanks to you. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

We watched a Copa Libertadores semi final at the Maracana. A great watch with 4 goals and a sending off. What really made this experience special though was our host Pedro. He really makes you feel like a 'Homefan' Communication was perfect from the start. He met us on time and took us to the streets around the ground to enjoy the atmosphere and some drinks. He had quite a big group but made time for all of us and introduced us to some local fans and his friends. We were behind the goal for the game where all the best atmosphere was and along with Pedro, we got involved in all the singing and bouncing. After the game he made sure everyone got home safely. I cant recommend Pedro highly enough and he made sure our first experience of South American football was a special one.

My trip to see Fluminense at the Maracana was an absolute highlight of my trip to South America. Pedro communicated all the necessary details beforehand and kept in touch on the day of the game. The pre-game and match experience was amazing - I 100% recommend this to any football fan. Pedro was the perfect host, who ensured all participants were safely transported back to their hotel afterwards. As a solo female traveller, Pedro ensured all the stress was taken out of the experience by organising all the practical arrangements for all participants. I hope to be back someday!

Pedro was wonderful and took great care of us before, during and after the Fluminense match at the Maracanã. He is very attentive and communicative before the match, establishing the meeting times and points. We took the metro to the game and began the pregame with other fans next to the Maracanã. We went into the stadium with our group of around 10 people and witnessed a beautiful free kick goal with an unmatched atmosphere. After Fluminense's victory, Pedro took care of our rides back to our hotels and was a great and respectful host all around. You won't regret booking Pedro for your next match!

Mannnn! This was probably one of the most exciting lifetime experiences. Pedro was a huge part in ensuring that happened- from initial contact, meeting everyone (group was 12-14), taking a walk, riding the train, pregaming with other Fluminense fans, to walking into THE Maracanã stadium and ultimately watching Fluminense take the W home. Couldn’t be more appreciative of how everything was handled by Pedro- def recommend booking. Then book again for the next time you want to go!!

Nicholas Brown

Pedro is an INCREDIBLE tour guide. From start to finish he made sure everything was well organized, kept everyone in the loop, and most of all, made sure that the whole group felt welcomed!! I have been a football fan my whole life, and I must say, I have never experienced a greater atmosphere than I did at the Fluminense-Olimpia game at the world famous Maracanã. To anyone considering booking the Fluminense match day experience with Pedro, I give my full recommendation. What an unforgettable night, thank you again Pedro!

Went to watch the Copa Libertadores match against Argentinos Juniors. The atmosphere was fantastic and the locals were so welcoming. Pedro was great, he ensured we were all looked after and catered for. I'd definitely recommend this experience.

Leopoldo Rodriguez

The experience that Pedro prepared for us on match day was incredible. Pedro was very attentive the entire time making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Getting to hangout with true Fluminense fans blocks away from the pitch and the seat location was optimal to enjoy the show on the stands and the field (they truly are two different shows). We highly recommend this experience

What a fantastic experience we had with our guy Pedro in the Maracanã-stadium. Me and my family of 6 watched the Fluminense vs Santos match, together with a few others that joined the group. Thanks to Pedro we had a great day. Perfectly clear communication before, during and after the match. He looked well after the group of 14 in total, making it a welcoming experience, telling us about the history and culture of the team and the stadium and taking us around whilst we enjoyed a drink or two. We would definitely recommend booking via HomeFans and if you go to see Fluminense, go with Pedro!

What an amazing experience! I booked with homefans for the Fluminense v Santos match. Our guide Pedro was brilliant. He took care of everything and was always available with updates and to answer questions. On the day he looked after us and took any of the stress out of things. Watching with a group of similar people travelling or on holiday was really good too. Overall an unforgettable day. Thanks Pedro.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Pedro at Fluminese vs sporting Crystal in the Copa Libertadores. Pedro picked us and our group of 9 up from Copacabana beach. He then took us to the ground and got us beers and bbq food from local fam bars. We soaked up the atmosphere before going into the ground where Pedro helped us get club merchandise. I have been to many games around the world but the atmosphere here was incredible. The fans singing, the drums, the concourse pre game. Was incredible! Pedro also helped us get a taxi home. Overall it was an incredible experience and we were delighted they made it through to the next round and Pedro was a great guide with lots of knowledge and passion for his team!

Coming from the states I feel like a football match at Maracanã is a must when in Rio. We had a larger group with some younger fans. Pedro did an amazing job keeping an eye on all of us. Not once did I feel vulnerable or fearful. It was fun to have a drink and eat before the game with all the other fans. This was a blast and I highly recommend Pedro.

Pedro is absolutely the best guide to watch a Fluminense match with. The day was just perfect. Everything was well organised and we had a lot of fun. You can feel the love pedro has for the club. After a day with Pedro you're sure a fluminense fan too. It was a unique experience that I recommend to everyone. Thank you for everything Pedro!

We had an amazing Fluminense Matchday experience. Our guide Pedro is really nice and he took care that everyone feels good during the whole time. He organized everything perfectly, so we had such a great time. Before the game we were eating Brazilian BBQ and drank some beers in a street full of Fluminense fans close to the Maracanã Stadium. The atmosphere in the stadium was unforgettable because of having great seats. I highly recommend booking this! It was an amazing experience and it’s so much easier to get tickets without worrying about anything.

Pedro was an unbelievable host and went above and beyond. He made our whole trip enjoyable and all round nice guy. Even before we got to Rio he was happy to suggest restaurants and places to visit. The experience was that good that myself and a group of friends went to 3 football matches within 6 days. Pedro ensured that we were safe even when we went to the derby and sat amongst the ultras. Couldn’t recommend his service enough. He has good footballing knowledge too, so definitely worth finding out the history of Fluminense as he’s willing to explain.

10/10 for this tour!!! My host Pedro was fantastic and I couldn't ask for more. Pedro was punctual, polite and could not do enough for me to ensure I had a fantastic time. Do not hesitate in booking this experience - it is amazing! Thank you Pedro you are a top bloke!

If you are looking for the real brazilian football experience, this is it! Pedro was great, and felt just like a friend. We got the best Seats in the stadium, just next to where the atmosphere was created. This experience is for everyone, even if you not particulary follow football!

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%

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.

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.

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.

I visited the maracana to watch fluminense vs vasco de gama with Pedro, it was a fantastic day, infact one of the most memorable following football, not just the stadium and fans but pedro’s knowledge of fluminense and the Brazilian game was second to none. A fantastic host and couldn’t have ask for a better day. Thank you Pedro I would definitely recommend if you’re going to a fluminense game!

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!

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!
