We'll kick off our adventure at the renowned Maracanã, a historic and celebrated football stadium. This iconic venue was the stage for the infamous 'Maracanazo' in 1950, where Uruguay shocked Brazil to clinch the World Cup, witnessed Germany's fourth World Cup victory in 2014, and is where Pelé netted his 1000th goal.
Our journey begins with a pre-match meetup to connect with fellow football fans. We'll gather in a vibrant plaza, lined with bustling bars, where local supporters come together to swap stories and build anticipation for the game. This is your chance to dive into the local football scene and meet fellow enthusiasts.
Next, we'll join the passionate supporters heading to the stadium. We'll secure seats that let you fully immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, giving you a true taste of the local passion. Whether it's Flamengo, Fluminense, or any other team in action, you'll be right in the midst of the excitement, especially during an exhilarating local derby!

10/10 experience
Davi was amazing, a real Flamengo die hard and all round football fan. Felt like we got an authentic experience from start to finish and an amazing result to match. Couldn’t recommend this experience any higher, the flamengo fans are next level.

Goal!!!!!
I would like to thank our guide Yan for such an exhilarating experience. The whole process was made simple, without the tour I could see how this would be overwhelming. The meetup location was perfect, the area was easy to find, lively and safe. We then headed in an authentic adventure. A closeup view of a game day experience. Yan explained the many layers of the game and background knowledge of the stadium and the fan base. We stopped and were able to take in the whole vibe with our welcome drink. After. A brief food stop, we headed into the stadium. Yan directed us through the entire process. We had great seats and loved watching the game. At the end of the night we were escorted back to our meetup point.

This was my first soccer...
This was my first soccer game ever! We had the best time. Our tour guide, Gustavo, made sure we were all taken care of & provided some really cool facts about the Maracanã stadium. We even met some new friends during the game!

Incredible Experience!
Incredible 10/10 experience! We started at bar on a nearby street with other Fluminense fans for a bit before the game to soak in the street atmosphere. Then we headed into the stadium an hour before kick off to get our seats and take in the pre-game chants. We were lucky to see a local rivalry in a semi-final, so there were fireworks, loud chanting, tifos etc. be prepared for a little bit of mess just incase! It’s all apart of the unique experience. Regardless of the intense, fierce atmosphere inside & outside the stadium, we felt safe with police everywhere. Our host Gustavo was amazing, he was a knowledgeable fan, could speak good English, made us feel relaxed/safe, offered us some drinks and overall made the entire experience unforgettable! Definitely recommend this if you’re on the fence, it’s 100% worth it to remember forever.

I had an amazing...
I had an amazing experience on the soccer game tour with Gustavo! From beginning to end, he made the entire event smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Gustavo was incredibly friendly and approachable, always ready to answer questions and make sure everyone felt comfortable. He was extremely organized and professional, keeping everything on schedule while still creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
What stood out the most was his deep knowledge, not just about the game itself, but about the culture, the stadium, and the local history surrounding it. His insights added so much to the experience and made the tour feel truly special.
I had a great time from start to finish and would absolutely recommend this soccer game if they want the experience. If you can, definitely request Gustavo, you’ll be in great hands!
