What we will do in this experience
Get ready to dive into the heart of Brazilian football with me attending to a Flamengo game at Maracanã Stadium!
Hello! I’m Fábio, your local host in this incredible experience of watching Flamengo at Maracanã Stadium! Meet Flamengo, one of the most successful and passionate teams in the world, while experiencing an unforgettable day at the Maracanã Stadium. Accompanied by me, a passionate local guide, you will have an immersion in the local football culture, as well as know all the tradition of Flamengo and the Maracanã Stadium!
At Flamengo, we take immense pride in our storied football legacy, characterized by an illustrious history adorned with remarkable achievements. With a record-breaking 8 league titles, 4 national cups, and 3 Copa Libertadores triumphs, our club stands tall among the football elite. Throughout the years, Flamengo has served as the nurturing ground for Brazil’s finest football legends, showcasing the extraordinary skills of iconic players such as Zico, Adriano, Romário, Leonidas da Silva, and a myriad of others who have left an indelible mark on the sport.
Our unwavering commitment to excellence and our relentless pursuit of victory continue to define Flamengo as a powerhouse in Brazilian football. With a legacy of triumph and an inspiring roster, we stand poised to carve out an even brighter future, bringing glory and excitement to our loyal fans both within Brazil and around the globe.
Attention: New entry system at Maracanã in 2025
Starting in 2025, entry to events at Maracanã will be done exclusively by facial recognition. Other entry methods will not be accepted, and each participant will need to register before the game. Therefore, please keep in mind the importance of this process being carried out as soon as you are contacted.
To ensure everything goes smoothly, my experience includes full assistance in this process. We know that the language barrier and conflicting information can be a challenge for foreigners, so I will be by your side to make everything simpler and ensure that you enter the stadium without stress!
This unique experience includes a local guide, authentic pre-match and tickets to the Flamengo match at Maracanã Stadium. Be a local fan, even if it’s your first time!
Trip Planning
Between 7 and 5 days before the game, you will be added to a WhatsApp group where I will share all the essential information.
On the game day before heading to the stadium, we’ll warm up at a traditional Flamengo fan bar, located just one block from Maracanã. Here, you’ll be able to soak up the atmosphere of the game, interact with other local fans and enjoy high-quality traditional drinks and food.
We will head to Maracanã 1 hour and 30 minutes in advance for comfort and security. Tickets are for the Short Side (behind the goal).

We had the pleasure to visit a Flamengo game not only once, but twice. Both times we went with Fabio and this was one of the best decisions we made during our travels in South America. Fabio is the best host you can wish for - attentive, caring, knowledgeable and entertaining. Before the game we met with the group, Fabio and some of his friends in a local Flamengo bar where we had a couple of drinks. This was a great opportunity to dive deep into the local football culture. Afterwards all of us headed to the stadium. It is impossible to explain the atmosphere in Maracana. You have to experience it yourself - and the best way is to do so with Fabio! An absolute MUST!

Fabio was amazing! We met him a few hours before kick off for a drink at a local bar to soak up the atmosphere. He then took us to the Maracana about one hour before kick off so we could find our seats, get a beer and join in with the singing and chants! He made us feel very safe the whole time and spoke perfect English. He was a real Flamengo fan so taught us everything we needed to know about the team, stadium and history. I would definite recommend booking with Fabio!

I recently attended the thrilling Flamengo vs. Fluminense match with my son, Luciano, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere in the stands was electric, filled with passionate fans, chants, and samba music. Fluminense's 2-0 victory only added to the excitement! Our hosts, Fabio and Mari, were absolutely fantastic. They ensured we had a wonderful time, taking care of us and making sure we felt safe throughout the match, especially considering the intensity of this classic rivalry. They also shared insights about Brazilian football culture and the unique characteristics of each club, which enriched our experience. I highly recommend Fabio and Mari for anyone looking to enjoy a football match in Brazil. Their hospitality and knowledge truly made our day special!

We were able to enjoy this mega experience in September. Fabio is the best guide from booking to the end of the event, the support he provided was excellent. Always available and immediate feedback and support even after the game, he wanted feedback that we arrived safely at home/hotel. Thank you Fabio for your commitment and for allowing us to share this experience with you Cheers

First of all thank you very much for this brilliant experience at a game Fabio, I really appreciate it. Before the game Fabio was so quick at helping with any questions I had for him, and made sure everyone had the best experience they could have. It was the best match I have been to, thanks to Fabio. After the game Fabio made sure everyone got back okay which was really good of him. The Maracana is an incredible stadium, and I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Fabio to help you experience it. ⚫️

This was a wow experience. It started off a little bumpy where the pickup point was in question. Eventually it got sorted out and Fabio met us at the stadium Maracana. All communications were done through WhatsApp. Fabio has a very good command of the English language however there were a few nuances that we had to clarify. No biggie. He came through in all of the important times. My wife, daughter and I uber-ed over and waited at a designated location as another couple was meeting at another location nearby and were getting retrieved first. Once we were greeted, Fabio explained the safety and security measures implement and told us that we would be getting through the security and he would not leave us. He kept his word and amongst all of the chaos outside the futbol stadium, we were finally in. This is not something for the weak of heart. This was a championship game and we were entering a sold out game with an excited and passionate crowd. Fireworks were exploding and Fabio kept his cool and got us into the game. Seats are not assigned. Just the section. I was not a huge futbol fan however this helped convert me. I know the dame more or less and followed everything. The crowd was amazing! Beer is tossed onto the air with each of the hometown team’s goals. The Flamenco’s were plating a team from São Paulo called the Palmieros (I think). Fabio also made sure were left the stadium safely and walked us about 7 blocks to a place were it was easier to catch an Uber back. This was the experience of a lifetime that was made possible by Fabio and the passionate Flamenco fans. Some of the best in the world however not according to our Gate One guide Gabe who recommended next time watching the team from Buenos Aires called Boca Juniors. Gabe is amazing as well and he is the one that recommended taking a guide rather than buying the tickets on our own. He warned us of the craziness and we have to pass it along that we agree. There are too many things to know so at least the first time, Hire HomeTeam in the city by you and hopefully its Rio and hopefully you will get Fabio!!

We met 4 hours before the game and went together to a local bar filled with Flamengo fans not far from the stadium. Fabio and Bruna are both fluent in English and could answer every question (game or organizational wise). Overall a great experience and definitely worth the price, especially for the fan experience. Would definitely book here again! Thank you Fabio and Bruna for this beautiful day!!

Fábio cares for all. Get together before the game, going from the meeting point to Maracanã, looks up for all in the streets near the stadium, helps passing through security check and stays with you at the stadium. Afterwards he stays with you till your uber comes, 10/10

This was a great football experience from start to finish! Fabio is well organised and you feel at ease throughout, going into the stadium, enjoying the great atmosphere during the game and more importantly exiting the stadium without any problems. Fabio also made sure we all made it safely to our hotel after the game!

Fabio was amazing from start to finish, looked after us so well and helped us enjoy an amazing experience!! Would 100% use him again. We met in a fans bar before the game, he walked us over, got our seats and even helped us order drinks etc because we don’t speak Portuguese. Such an amazing experience for me and my girlfriend, we felt safe 100% of the time and the game was so so good!! If you’re a football fan (a real fan) in Rio this is a MUST!!!! Thank you to Fabio and his crew!!! GO FLAMENGO’s!!! ⚫️ ⚫️

If you want the best Flamengo game experience, look no further! Earlier this year, my group of friends attended a Flamengo game and it was truly amazing. Not only what happend at the Maracana, but everything around the pre-match, having a beer together, meeting other people and having a really authentic matchday as if we were local fans. 100% recommended!
