Brazil is, and always has been, synonymous with football. The national team are respected (and feared) across the world – and the domestic league, which provides the breeding ground for the national team, offers lively, passionate and exciting matches.
This custom tour will cover Brazil’s best city Rio de Janeiro and will combine football, samba, passion and sightseeing!
Rio de Janeiro is the most beautiful and charming city in Brazil, which is also reflected in its football! In addition, it is home to the great rivalry between Flamengo and Fluminense – considered by Four Four Two magazine to be one of the most intense derbies in the world – and the birthplace of legends such as Zico, Garrincha, Nilton Santos and others.
Beyond that, Botafogo and Vasco da Gama are the other two big clubs in the city, both playing in stadiums where their neighborhood, fans and atmosphere can surprise you! You will have an authentic experience of going on a match as if you were a local fan, living the carioca football culture in the middle of one of the most passionate fans in Brazil as if you had lived this all your life!
We have curated a handful of unique local-led experiences so you can soak up in the authentic Carioca atmosphere, join a local to show you around his highlights of the club and the city, and to have unforgettable memories for the future! No need to worry about planning where to go, how to get a ticket for entrance or how to travel. We got you covered.
Let’s go!
Even though we are a friendly bunch, we are not directly responsible for the activity.
We are a marketplace, which means we facilitate that travellers like yourself, take part in a sports experience offered by a fully-vetted local host who has enrolled on the platform.
The responsibility to carry out the activity relies exclusively on the local host. However, we as a marketplace act in the interests of everyone, supervising everything and facilitating communication and support when needed for a flawless experience.
Whilst the fixture calendar has been released, final confirmed dates are usually announced 2-3 weeks before the kick-off date, due to TV schedule. It is possible then, that Sunday matches will move to Saturday and vice-versa. The local hosts will keep you posted in case there is a change.
When you choose and pay for your an activity on the Homefans marketplace, you will receive a booking confirmation directly after the booking via email. In this confirmation, you will get all the details of your booking.
An activity on the Homefans marketplace involves a fully-vetted host, who offers a specific experience around a sporting event (match day experience with a ticket for the game) or some other cultural experiences (walking tours, stadium & museum tours with a local, among others).
They last between 2 hours up to a whole day. Please check the inclusions in each activity on the “What’s Included‘ section.
Once the booking is done, you will receive an order confirmation and the Homefans tech platform will notify the host about it. You can always chat with the host on the marketplace by clicking on the ‘ASK A QUESTION‘ button – you will send and receive messages you can check on your own dashboard with email notifications.
A few days prior to the game, the host will get in touch with you via Whatsapp to arrange the appropriate logistics.
The activities on the Homefans marketplace are designed and executed by fully-vetted locals that have been approved by Homefans.
All bookings made on Homefans are backed by our Buyer Guarantee so you have peace on mind when booking.
With more than 10,000+ customers , Homefans is one of the biggest specialised sports marketplaces in the world.
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!
Unfortunately, given that the activities are 100% offered by local hosts onboarded on the Homefans marketplace, this is not possible.
All activities are paid 100% upfront to ensure a correct preparation by the local host.
If you foresee that you cannot longer attend the activity you booked, you can do it within the next 24 hours after your booking was done.
According to our Terms & Conditions, after the 24 hour window, the host cancellation policy applies, and it depends on each host. Given that it involves tickets, it’s usually non-refundable.
If you have solid grounds on why you want to cancel, please get in touch with Homefans and we will facilitate the process with the local host.
Please get in touch with the local host on the activity’s page (and clicking the ASK A QUESTION button) to enquire – the local host will let you know if it’s possible.
