What we will do in this experience
Hello football lovers – and especially those who carry Fluminense in their hearts.
I’m Juan Turner, a lifelong Fluminense supporter and passionate tricolor. It’s my pleasure to invite you to join me for an unforgettable football experience at the iconic Maracanã Stadium.
This is more than just attending a match. It’s about feeling what it truly means to be part of the Fluminense community. From the atmosphere in the streets to the roar in the stands, I’ll guide you through the rituals, stories, and emotions that make matchday in Rio so powerful.
Here’s what you can expect:
An Immersive Fluminense Matchday
We’ll soak in the energy of the crowd from the moment we arrive. You’ll be part of the pre-match build-up, the singing, the anticipation – all leading up to the moment we take our seats among the tricolor faithful.
Warm Brazilian Hospitality
As your local host, I’ll welcome you with the same warmth and openness that define Brazilian culture. Along the way, I’ll share stories of the club’s rich history, its legendary players, and what makes this team so deeply loved by its fans.
A Taste of Local Tradition
Before kickoff, we’ll enjoy some of the traditional street food and matchday snacks that are part of the fan ritual here in Rio. It’s a casual, flavorful way to connect with local culture.
Unforgettable Memories
This experience is about creating lasting connections – with the city, with the team, and with fellow fans. You’ll walk away with more than just photos; you’ll carry the feeling of being part of something truly special.
If you’re ready to experience football not as a spectator, but as a true insider, come with me to the Maracanã. Let’s live the heart and soul of Fluminense together.

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.
