What we will do in this experience

Hello, I’m Lucca, a passionate Flamengo fan my whole life, and I’m here to take you inside one of the most intense football experiences in the world: a Flamengo match at Maracanã.

I was born and raised in Tijuca, the neighborhood right next to the stadium, and going to Maracanã has been part of my life since I was a kid. I grew up attending matches with my grandparents, my father, and my brother – so much that I can’t even remember my first game. Today, I’m almost always there when Flamengo plays at home.

This is not just about watching a match, this is about living Flamengo like a real fan.

From the moment we meet, you’ll feel the energy building up around the stadium. I’ll guide you through the entire matchday experience: the best ways to get there, how to move safely, where the action happens, and how locals truly enjoy game day.

Inside Maracanã, get ready for something unforgettable. You’ll be surrounded by thousands of passionate fans, singing, jumping, and celebrating every moment. This is not a quiet stadium – this is Flamengo.

My goal is simple: make sure you don’t feel like a tourist, but part of the crowd.

I’ll be with you every step of the way, making everything easy, safe, and smooth. I speak Portuguese and English, so you can relax and just enjoy the experience.

If you’re coming to Rio and want to do Maracanã the right way – this is it.
Join me and experience Flamengo like you never imagined.

Host since 2026

I’m a Rio local, living in Tijuca (a neighborhood neer to Maracanã), and I’m passionate about the city — and especially about Flamengo. I grew up going to matches with my grandparents, my father, and my brother, so I honestly can’t even remember my first game. Maracanã has always been part of my life. I’m a true Flamengo fan and I’m always at the stadium when we play at home. Because I live so close to the stadium, I know the whole matchday experience. The best ways to get there, entrances, sections, safety, and the atmosphere before and after the game. I speak Portuguese and English, so I can help you with anything you need throughout the experience.

Itinerary

  1. Meeting Point & Communication

    A few days before matchday, you’ll be added to a WhatsApp group where all essential information will be shared, including meeting point, schedule, and useful tips for the day. You’ll also receive support and guidance for the Face ID registration process (if required), ensuring smooth access to the stadium. Everything is clearly organized in advance so you know exactly what to expect, making the experience easy and stress-free from the beginning.

  2. Pre-Match Experience at a Local Fan Bar

    On matchday, we meet at a traditional Flamengo fan bar just a short walk from Maracanã. This is where the experience truly begins. You’ll be surrounded by local supporters, feel the energy building up, and get a real sense of Flamengo’s matchday culture. It’s the perfect moment to enjoy a cold drink, connect with fans, and get into the atmosphere before kickoff.

  3. Walk to Maracanã & Flamengo Match Experience

    We head to the stadium around 1 to 1.5 hours before kickoff to ensure a safe, and comfortable entry. Your official match ticket gives access to the short side (behind the goal), right next to Flamengo’s most passionate supporters. This is where the atmosphere is at its peak, nonstop chants, flags, and an intensity that makes Maracanã one of the most iconic stadiums in the world. Everything is planned so you can enter without stress, find your seat easily, and fully enjoy the match.

  4. Post-Match (After the Game)

    After the final whistle, there’s time to enjoy the post-match atmosphere at the meeting point, depending on the moment. If the bar is open, the experience may continue with more conversation and drinks. Otherwise, the experience naturally comes to an end, and you’re free to head back at your own pace. For late matches, using Uber is recommended for a smoother and more comfortable return.
