What we will do in this experience
Hey guys! My name is Lucas and I would like to introduce myself and also introduce “O Glorioso”, the famous Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas.
Join me to experience Brazilian football like a true local supporter in one of Rio’s most passionate stadium atmospheres.
This is not just about watching a football match — it’s about feeling the culture, energy and emotion of Brazilian football from the stands.
Hey guys! My name is Lucas and I would like to introduce myself and also introduce “O Glorioso”, the famous Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas.
Join me to experience Brazilian football like a true local supporter in one of Rio’s most passionate stadium atmospheres.
This is not just about watching a football match — it’s about feeling the culture, energy and emotion of Brazilian football from the stands.
I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro and have supported Botafogo since I was a child. My father took me to my first matches when I was young, and since then football and Botafogo have always been a big part of my life.
On match day, we’ll meet before kickoff near Estádio Nilton Santos to experience the pre-game atmosphere that every Brazilian supporter loves. The streets around the stadium begin to fill with fans, music, conversations about football and the excitement building before the match.
This moment is an important part of Brazilian football culture — the atmosphere before the game is almost as exciting as the match itself.
Once inside the stadium, you’ll take your place among thousands of passionate supporters. When the chants begin and the entire stand starts singing together, you’ll feel the powerful energy that makes Brazilian football famous around the world.
To make the experience smooth and stress-free, I will also assist you with the entire process — from ticket purchase to the facial recognition registration required to enter the stadium.
This experience is perfect for travelers who want to understand football culture in Rio and live the match like a local, not just as a spectator.
Join me and discover why football means so much in Brazil.
*Attention: New Entry System at Nilton Santos Stadium*
Starting in 2024, entry to matchdays at Estádio Nilton Santos is done exclusively through facial recognition. Other entry methods are no longer accepted, and each participant must complete a registration before the game.
Don’t worry — I will guide you through the entire process and help you complete the facial recognition registration before matchday.
