Popular Botafogo Experiences
Go beyond the ticket. Live Botafogo like a local
Experience the real Rio through Botafogo – one of Brazil’s most historic and passionate clubs. This isn’t just about watching a football match. It’s about feeling the heartbeat of a city that lives and breathes the game. On matchday, the streets around Estádio Nilton Santos start buzzing early. Fans in black and white gather in local bars, singing old chants, sharing stories, and building up the energy that makes its way into the stadium.
With Homefans, you’ll be right there in the middle of it. Meet locals before the match, soak in the atmosphere, and walk with them to the gates of “Engenhão,” as the stadium is known. Inside, the chants are loud, the passion is real, and for a few hours, you’re not a visitor — you’re part of it.
Join the locals for an unforgettable matchday experience in one of South America's most iconic football cities and discover Botafogo like a local!

Matheus setup an incredible night, to the point where if he’s London or I’m back in Rio we will be grabbing a beer! Even my girlfriend came back a Botafogo fan

Matheus is such a lovely host who explained a lot of the history behind the derby. He was also very accomodating with any questions We had great seats and were right next to the Botafogo ultras. You can feel the passion and support is truly next level. Even though Botafogo sadly lost, the energy was incredible. I came home a Botafogo fan! Highly recommended!

What an amazing experience and a highlight of our trip. The whole trip was so well organised and Matheus looked after us so well. We learnt so many exciting facts about the history of the players and the club. We will be using again when we return to Rio. The Brazilian football games are like no other in the world, you do really need to experience. Do not hesitate to book, we highly recommend. Thank you Matheus

Just Wow! I completed a two week solo tour of Argentina and Brazil solely based on Football going to 9 different games. and Botafogo left me forever a fan! Mateus was an absolute Hero, who was so passionate on Botafogo and made you fall in love with the club, he was so well organised, welcoming and cracked opened a beer with you once we got to the pre game! He also matched this with his knowledge and passion of the beautiful game which made the experience 10 times better. The atmosphere was so special, flares, fireworks, chanting and waving flags everywhere you looked, we was immersed with the locals from start to finish. If you go to a game in Rio make sure you go to Botafogo, you won’t regret it! 12/10 would recommend to anybody! I will definitely be returning one day. Just to feel part of the botofoga family once again!
