What we will do in this experience

Hello!

My name is Peter Arnholdt, I’m Danish and been living in Belo Horizonte since 2013 with my wife and two daughters. I fell in love with Brazilian football many years ago, when the stars were Pelé (The King), Rivelino (the inventor of the elastico-dribble) and Jairzinho (The Hurricane). This country has so many good stories, that I decided to make a blog in Danish about Brazilian football.

I invite you to watch Cruzeiro play at the Mineirão, the biggest stadium in Belo Horizonte with a capacity of more than 65.000 spectators. As an experienced guide, I have accompanied groups to exciting matches in Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and I can guarantee an authentic and emotional experience!

Together, we will learn about the rituals of Cruzeiro fans, enjoy the atmosphere and be part of this spectacle! Next up is the state championship covering Minas Gerais. Come. You will hear about this special Brazilian footballstructure, where we kick the year off with 27 different state championship in January and then continue with the national championship from the end of March to almost Christmas Eve.

Cruzeiro is called ‘O Maior de Minas’ (The Biggest in Minas Gerais) and the club has provided a lot of the best Brazilian players like Ronaldo ‘O Fenômeno’ (The Phenomenon). The big talent and coming Chelsea-player Estevão started his football adventure before going to Palmeiras. Cruzeiro is estimated to have more than 6 mio. fans, and they are very passionate about their club.

Note: In some cases, games may be moved to the Independência Stadium without prior notice.

    I was lucky to experience the cruzeiro vs gremio game with Peter. We met in a local bar, went outside the stadium to have a beer and tried local food and then went into the stadium. It was wonderful to discuss football with Peter for hours. He is very knowledgeable, extremely kind and looked after us very well. The game was great and the stadium was outstanding. I can recommend the experience at any time.

    Peter was an awesome host, very nice and knowledgeable of football. He started off by finding us a cool bar beforehand to watch Aston Villa which for me was top service from Peter. We then went to the stadium stopped off for some food and a beer outside, then Into the match which was unbelievable- hearing the fans in full voice was an experience in its self in such an iconic stadium. Highly recommend
