What we will do

Step into the legendary São Januário Stadium, the proud home of Vasco da Gama and one of Rio de Janeiro’s most authentic football grounds. This iconic stadium, the only privately-owned football ground in Rio, is deeply woven into the culture of the local Cruzmaltino fans, who share an unwavering bond with the neighborhood, known as Vasco da Gama itself.

Set against the backdrop of Barreira do Vasco, a favela that lives and breathes football, the stadium is more than just a place to watch a game. It’s a symbol of inclusion and resilience, a club that welcomed black players, workers, and the poor at a time when football in Brazil was dominated by elitism.

This is your chance to experience the stories of triumph and fight that make Vasco da Gama one of the most respected and beloved clubs in the country. Travel by private transport through a community that pulses with Vasco pride, with each street and corner radiating an unmatched passion, leading you to the stadium. Don’t miss out on exploring what many consider Rio’s finest football ground—a must-see for any true football enthusiast!

i did the maracanã and vasco stadium tour with Gabriel in one day. It was a really great experience. Gabriel has a lot of football knowledge and i really enjoyed talking to him for hours about football. He took very good care of me and i really enjoyed visiting the stadiums and everything around with him. It is definitely worth a visit! Thanks for this great day Gabriel!

What a amazing experience this is. Maybe not the best team, but there is a very nice story about this club. And the stadium is very unique by it architectural syle. Main reason for me was to visit this stadiuym because of Romario. But this club has so much more. And Matheus is a great guide. We did a combo visit with Maracana and Vasca da Gama on one day, and all was good organised by Matheus. Thanks for this amazing tour.
