Our hosts are passionate local fans who love sharing their club, city, and matchday traditions with travelers. They’re not tour guides—they’re insiders who make you feel like a local, not a tourist.

All Homefans hosts go through a vetting process, including interviews, experience design checks, and community guidelines. We only work with reliable, passionate, and knowledgeable locals.

For some clubs and stadiums in Brazil, it is necessary to register for facial recognition. Clubs that require this procedure are clearly indicated in the description of each experience.

When booking your seats, the local host will contact you promptly to request the necessary information and guide you through the facial registration process. It is important to highlight that, for these clubs and stadiums, the registration of facial biometrics is mandatory, being the only way to access the stadium, as the ticket will be linked to this identification. Facial recognition registration is a policy of clubs and stadiums, and has no relationship with Homefans and/or local hosts.

Furthermore, to participate in the experience, you must agree to go through this process and register your face.
