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!
