This is not just a football match — it’s a cultural ritual, and I invite you to experience it with me. My name is Guilherme, and I'm a lifelong Flamengo fan.

Join me to sing, cheer, and feel the game's incredible passion like a true local. Our Gameday Experience: Our day starts before the match, where we’ll meet up with other Flamengo supporters in the vibrant streets around the stadium. We'll grab a cold beer, soak in the pre-game vibes, and get ready for the show. I’ll then guide you to our seats behind the goal — right in the heart of the action, next to the most passionate fans in the world. To Make Everything Easy & Safe for You: As your host, I take care of all the details so you can just relax and enjoy. Here’s what I provide: - A private WhatsApp group for every match, where you get direct info, fast responses, and all gameday updates. - Clear guidance on where to go, what to bring, and what to expect every step of the way. - Your official match ticket, so you don't have to worry about anything. - Constant company throughout the event to ensure you feel safe, comfortable, and fully immersed. Inside the stadium, you’ll sing, jump, and celebrate every goal with us. This is more than a game — it’s Flamengo at Maracanã. An experience you’ll truly never forget.

Guilherme was a really fun and friendly guide! First, he took us to a local supporters’ bar where we had a beer and something to eat. After that, we walked in large numbers to the stadium, where the atmosphere was absolutely amazing! During the match, we stood with his father and friends, which was great fun! After the game, we went to another local bar, which made the experience complete.

Tuvimos la fortuna de vivir la experiencia VIP en el estadio Maracaná de Río de Janeiro, y debo decir que fue inolvidable. Guillerme fue un anfitrión excepcional, siempre atento y a la altura de la ocasión, haciéndonos sentir cómodos y bien atendidos en todo momento. Puedo recomendar sus servicios al 100%, no solo por la calidad de la experiencia, sino también por el trato humano y cercano. El Maracaná es simplemente increíble, y sin duda espero regresar pronto. Además, tuvimos el honor de compartir con su padre, el señor Sergio Lázaro, un ilustre del fútbol, con quien cruzamos algunas palabras que hicieron aún más especial la experiencia. Tanto Guillerme como su padre fueron muy amables y atentos con mi esposa y conmigo. Sin dudarlo, volvería a vivir esta experiencia con ellos.

I had a great time watching Flamengo play Vasco Da Gama. I would highly recommend Guilherme as a host. From when I booked the tickets up until arrival at the stadium Guilherme kept in contact and explained the process thoroughly. If you have never been to a match in Brazil before it is very different then the UK. Guilherme made the whole process effortless.
