Additional Information

The Maracana stadium, inaugurated in 1950, was the chosen venue for that year’s soccer World Cup. The notable Brazilian sports journalist, Mário Filho, known as ‘the crowd creator,’ was a prominent advocate for its construction.

The arena, which has been the backdrop for pivotal moments such as the ‘Maracanazo,’ Pelé’s thousandth goal, and Germany’s impressive win over Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final, is a significant part of football history.

Our meet-up point will be at a specific location close to Maracana, often thronged by fans before games, thus fostering a pre-match energy amongst us. Following our cyclical gathering, we’ll proceed towards our designated stadium entrance. We aim to be situated near the ardent fans’ flags and drums area, enhancing the experience! Be a part of this memorable journey!

An Unforgettable experience! - The chants, the atmosphere, the passion it was amazing, creating goosebumps!! However, little feedback, the pregame meetup could have been better for the price of the package! I mean the money totally worth it but a bit overpriced since apart for the meetup point, the one beer offered and walking safely to the stadium, the package is too high as game ticket is cheap! Gustavo, a Fluminese super fan for life, our guide, though, was very cool and helpful all the time! Anyway i loved the experience overall! A must thing to do in Rio!

Amazing experience, we loved every minute! - What an experience! If you love futbol, this is a must do event while in Rio de Janiero! Bruno is a true Flamengo fan & made the afternoon a safe, fun time! He was clear in his directions where to meet & ensured we had great seats & stayed with us the entire match. The Flamengo fans are intense, fun & friendly. Be sure to wear your red & black!!

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE AT THE MARACANÃ! - Bruno and Gustavo ensured we had a great time watching their team, Fluminense, play at the Maracanã. They met us at a bar close to the stadium along with other tourists, buying us all a drink before the game. They then took us to the stadium, finding us seats right within the loudest and most passionate fans to get the best experience. Watching the football in that atmosphere was incredible! After the game the made sure we got to the metro safely, they really looked after us at all points during the evening. I would highly recommend for any football fans or even if you're not, you'll still have a fantastic time. ⚽

The experience you don't want to miss! - We had the best experience at Maracanã stadium with Rio as a local. There was really good communication before the match, with all the info we needed and easy access to the meeting point with subway or uber. Bruno and his team were very attentive to our group throughout the match and did everything possible to ensure we had the best experience. It was definitely one of the highlights during our stay in Rio. Whether you are a football fan or not, I can only recommend going. The atmosphere at Maracanã is crazy! I can only give my warmest recommendations! I will definitely go again if or when I come to Rio :)

You can trust Rio as a Local to do you right and show you a good time!! The experience in the stadium was amazing. I got great seats from the ticket they got me and the fans were awesome! So much great energy the whole time!
