The Maracanã Stadium is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic in the world! It has already hosted two World Cup finals among other major world football competitions! In addition, it’s home to Fluminense matches, one of the most traditional teams in the country!

You will have the chance to meet Fluminense supporters, with colours which are easily identified by the striking contrast of maroon, green and white, earning the team its nickname of “tricolor carioca”. Founded in 1902, it has a notable history of success with 31 wins at state championships and four wins at Brazilian National League!

We will meet in a preset meeting point and we will go to the stadium by metro. This is much nicer because we will be in contact with other fans who will be going to the match and with other people who are in their daily lives. On the surroundings of the Maracanã, we will take a tour around the stadium and to the location of our pre-match with by several Fluminense fans. We will drink some beers (or other drink you want) and eat some barbecues! Here I’ll tell you the best stories about Fluminense and Rio de Janeiro football and you’ll find out about the clubs and competitions!

Inside the stadium you will be among one of the most passionate fans in the country and will have the opportunity to cheer along with the ultras/organized supporters groups! After being in a game full of emotions and being sure that you will have amazing memories for the rest of your life, it’s time to head back to the hotel!

At the Maracaña you will be able to experience a home match of Fluminense together with a local who will guide you throughout the evening. No need to worry about planning where to go, how to get a ticket for entrance or how to travel. We got you covered.

    Pedro and his brother were excellent hosts. Clear instructions on meeting point and how to register for facial recognition. Time to enjoy pre match atmosphere and good seats behind the goal. And after the game we were taken to a very good spot to eat and drink or simply get a cab back to our hotel. I assume you could attend a game at the Maracana in your own but would heartily recommend you do it this way

    This was absolutely brilliant, the pre-match was fantastic and we were taken to a great part of the stadium behind one of the goals and near the ultras’ instruments. What was most impressive about this particular experience (besides Thiago Silva’s 98th minute volley winner) was Pedro’s communication. We had initially booked Fluminense vs Atlético Mineiro, but the mid-season changes to the Brasilerão meant that we would only be there for Fluminense vs Juventude. Pedro navigated this perfectly and simply provided us with tickets to the correct game. He then, despite me checking multiple times a day to see if they had announced the TV schedule for the matches, messaged me with the match time before I could find out myself, virtually minutes after it was announced. Despite eventually managing a group of about 20 people, he got us all safely to and from the stadium and got a round in for all of us.

    I found Homefans online and chose Pedro as our host for the Fluminese v Botofogo match. He was really engaging and helpful with the registration requirements before the game and kept me up to date with everything via WhatsApp. We had a great pre-match experience in a nearby street where food and drinks were available and we were able to buy a Fluminese shirt with Pedro’s help. We also joined his brother’s group, which helped with the co-ordination and made it even more fun. Pedro was a great host, super friendly and well organised. He made everything easy and really enjoyable for my wife and I. I would highly recommend booking Pedro and going to a match as part of your Brazil / Rio de Janeiro experience

    We went to a Fluminense v. Botafogo game with Pedro and his brother. Pedro communicated clearly in the days leading up to the game and game day itself was great. A drink with the group a chance to see how local fans enjoy themselves before the game. Totally safe and very easy, even after the game, we walked back to a good spot for a beer and catching a cab. The atmosphere of the game was cool, the fans make a lot of noise and it’s easy to get drawn in. I would go with a guide/ group again, getting into and out of the stadium in particular, it is far better to know where to go (and not go), I would not bother trying to do it on your own unless you speak Portuguese. Super happy to have had the experience with Pedro.

    Fluminense–América de Cali quarter-final in Rio de Janeiro!! Pedro (and his brother) was amazing and very helpful! He took great care of me and my children (16 and 14) when we went to this game. Communication was super clear (he even gave us instructions days before arriving in Brazil by WhatsApp), meeting him was easy, and we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. He brought us right into the middle of the Fluminense fans, and the atmosphere was unforgettable (be ready to stand up and sing with the crowd!). Thanks to Pedro we had one of the best football experiences of our lives! Brazilian football is indeed something totally different....Kind advice as a parent: access to bathrooms in the stadium is very easy, bring local cash or have a local PIX account for super easy access to food and drinks without leaving your seats (international credit cards not always accepted by all ambulant vendors) and leaving the stadium was totally safe, yet pre-order your transport (taxi, Uber,...) before the game for a seamless experience getting your "crowd" back to where you stay without waiting. Final word!? Get Fluminense shirts at Copacabana/Ipanema beach upfront to be part of something extraordinary!

He shared so much knowledge about the team and Brazilian football culture, making the whole day unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized, and Pedro made us feel like true locals.

    Unforgettable Rio Football Experience! Went to see Fluminense play at the Maracanã and it was incredible! Huge stadium, amazing atmosphere, and the fans are so passionate singing and chanting the whole game. Our guide was fantastic, taking us to a local pub before the match to soak up the pre-game vibes with the locals. The crowd was friendly and welcoming, and even if you’re not a big football fan, it’s such a cool local experience and a great way to feel the spirit of Rio.

The game itself (Fluminense v Vasco) was unbelievable with an atmosphere to match. Met some other tourists in the group as well which was an added bonus. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants wants to watch the best team in Rio play in the best stadium in Brazil.

    My sons and I had a genuinely memorable experience at the Maracana. Pedro made everything really easy so that we were free to enjoy the atmosphere before and during the match - an atmosphere we hadn’t experienced at any of the hundreds of Uk/European games we have been to. Pedro is a 100% lovely guy who finds the right balance between making us feel safe without it becoming a sanitized event. By the end of the match we were exhausted (having come straight off an overnight flight the night before) so were really grateful that Pedro put us in a taxi after the game. Would strongly recommend.

    Pedro was the perfect host and we had a brilliant time. Communication with Pedro was clear, responsive and helpful. It was clear his priority was making sure we had a great time and that we were safe. He took care of everyone in the group, making sure everyone got into the stadium, getting us a great space near the bed and ensuring we all left together (and finding us a good bar to continue to enjoy the evening). I cant recommended the experience, or Pedro’s skills as a host, highly enough. One of my best memories of the whole trip.

    An unforgettable experience at Maracanã thanks to Pedro! This wasn’t just a tour — it was a once-in-a-lifetime emotional rollercoaster. Pedro didn’t just take us to Maracanã — he immersed us in the soul of Brazilian football. Instead of watching from a distance, he brought us right into the heart of the stadium, among the fans, where the energy was absolutely electric. The chants, the drums, the pure passion — it was magic. Pedro himself is a gem. Kind, caring, and genuinely passionate about what he does. You can feel that he truly loves sharing this experience with people. He paid attention to every little detail and made sure we were comfortable and part of the action. It felt less like a tour and more like a dream you don’t want to wake up from. If you’re even thinking about visiting Maracanã — do it with Pedro. It will stay with you forever❤️❤️❤️

    What a fun experience we had with Pedro and his brother! We felt well looked after and it was a great way to go to a game to have a BUNCH of fun but to feel safe at the same time! Pedro called his friend to bring a bunch of Fluminese shirts to sell for a great price! We had the ‘proper’ local experience and this was all down to the great organisation of Pedro and his brother. Thank you for everything, Pedro!

    Pedro was a FANTASTIC host!! This was my first ever football game—and what a game it was! The vibes, the music, the atmosphere—everything was incredible. Throughout the whole experience, I felt completely safe. Pedro knew exactly where to meet so we can be with the Fans to enjoy the full experience before the game started, helped us grab beers, and guided us all the way to the game. I was running 45 minutes late (sorry!), but Pedro was so understanding. He waited until our whole group was together so we could walk to the stadium as one. After the game, he even showed us the best place to go out for drinks—and joined us, so the celebration could continue! I would 100% recommend booking this experience with Pedro. You’ll enjoy every moment of it. Thank you so much, Pedro! PS: I’m officially a Fluminense supporter!

    So happy we booked the “experience” and didn’t just buy tix. It was a great way to meet others including Cariocas and truly see the game like a local. Even though it wasn’t a big game and the stands were half empty, our section was packed and the “band” played and the fans sang the entire 90 minutes! What a blast! Pedro was super chill and informative (as were some of the other fans). My teenage daughter and I toured all of Rio but our highlight was the match! Fluminense fans forever!

    Pedro was the absolute best host we could have asked for. From start to finish, getting us through the process of ordering tickets, arranging the meetup for pre-game, introducing us to a group for some fun, and getting us through security to the match all went off without a single problem. Once inside the environment was festive and high-energy right in the heart of the fan support section for Fluminense at Maracana. Afterwards, Pedro made sure to get us all out to an area with easy access to multiple transit options that was safe and reliable. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Pedro if you're looking to go to a match !

    As soon as I booked the tickets for me and my girlfriend to go to the Fla-Flu Derby, Pedro was very helpful and communicative explaining what the day would consist of and if we had any questions. He helped us get organised getting our facial recognition prepared for the Maracana as was required for the ticketing system, which was seamless. On the day, we met Pedro very easily. He took us to a street where all the fans were drinking, we had drinks with the local fans, chanted with them and Pedro making sure that we were all safe. But he didn’t need to do too much, as the atmosphere was very safe throughout. In the stadium it was amazing, although it ended 0-0, it was the best atmosphere I’d ever been to. And being with the fans, drinking in the stands, chanting with them was a once in a lifetime experience. If you are going to Rio, I’d highly recommend contacting Pedro for an easy way to experience the great atmosphere and support Fluminese. 10/10

    attending a football match in Brazil has always been on my bucket list, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations! From the electrifying atmosphere to the sheer passion of the fans, this was an experience I’ll never forget. Our guide was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. He took care of everything, from getting us great seats to explaining the chants and traditions, making the experience even more immersive. The energy in the stadium was unreal—drums beating, fans singing at the top of their lungs, and an intensity that you can only find in Brazilian football. It’s something you have to witness firsthand to truly understand. If you’re in Rio and even remotely interested in football, this is a must-do. And when I’m back, I wouldn’t do it with anyone else but this guide. 10/10, highly recommended!

Pedro was a conscientious host who looked after us very well and made us feel safe (although the atmosphere pre and at the match was very friendly and not threatening in any way). Great fun pre-match drinks in the streets outside bars with Pedro, his mates and other Flu fans. Fun and diverse group with guests from the Cayman Islands, U.K. and Italy.

    Pedro is an amazing host who took care of everyone from start to finish. He gave us all a comprehensive background on the club before taking us to mingle with all the home fans and having a couple of beers. The Fluminese fans are passionate and the the atmosphere was electric, to witness a game at the Maracana is a once in a lifetime experience. Pedro helped navigate us out the ground, some went home in cabs but we chose to have drinks and soak up the atmosphere further. A match day experience with Pedro is a must if you are in Rio!

    Navigating the entry points and neighborhoods can be daunting for a tourist, and Pedro's Homefans experience was the perfect way to enjoy the game without the stress. Partying with the local Fluminense fans before the game was also a highlight, as they are so welcoming and fun to hang with. Best part was that Pedro's communication was solid, and he even spotted me my cab fare because I ran out of Reals (stupid tourist, I know). Thank you my friend!

    We really enjoyed attending a football match at the legendary Maracaná Stadium. And then even a game of the newly crowned champion of South America Fluminense! Because Pedro was so organised, everything was super relaxed and we were able to enjoy the trip perfectly. The atmosphere in our group and in the stadium was great and Pedro was always ready with lots of additional information about the club. It was a great trip, thanks again Pedro!

    I would strongly recommend going to the world-famous Maracana if you are visiting Rio and I even more strongly recommend doing it through Pedro. Pedro was an amazing host. He was kind, organized, friendly, and happily answered any questions about Rio, football in Brasil, or anything else that I or the others in my group had. I have been to two other matches at the Maracana and this one was by far the best experience because Pedro was there to show us a great time before and during the match and help us get home safely after the match.

    Pedro was a excellent host, who happily answered all my questions prior to the match experience and even went out of his way to source me tickets for the Brazil v Argentina match the same week, which he didn’t have to do. Pedro went above and beyond for me acting more as a friend than a guide during my short time in the city. The overall experience was also excellent, with Pedro ensuring seats in an area with an amazing atmosphere and perfect view to ensure a top experience. Prior transport to the stadium was also organised ensuring we arrived early enough for pre match drinks which Pedro also organised for the group. So overall a top experience and an even better guide which I would highly recommend.

    My friend and I watched the semi final first leg Copa Libertadores match between Fluminense and Internacional at the Maracana and what a game we were treated to - 4 goals and a sending off! Pedro is an excellent host and he promised us a pre match street party with drinks before the game and he didn't let us down. I have never experienced a prematch atmosphere like that before. It was absolutely brilliant! Our seats were located behind the goal and for the whole time we were there, we were joining in with all of the singing and bouncing around. This was the first football game of my South American trip and it was certainly a memorable one. After the game, Pedro made sure that we all got home safely. I can't recommend Pedro and the Fluminense Matchday experience enough! It was certainly a 5 star experience.

    The experience was phenomenal! It was my first time at a match in Brazil and it lived up to my expectations. Before the game we went to the local bars and met other Fluminense fans. During the game, the crowd was insane, chanting all game and even afterwards. Amazing experience if you’re in Rio and love football, I 100% recommend.

    We watched a Copa Libertadores semi final at the Maracana. A great watch with 4 goals and a sending off. What really made this experience special though was our host Pedro. He really makes you feel like a 'Homefan' Communication was perfect from the start. He met us on time and took us to the streets around the ground to enjoy the atmosphere and some drinks. He had quite a big group but made time for all of us and introduced us to some local fans and his friends. We were behind the goal for the game where all the best atmosphere was and along with Pedro, we got involved in all the singing and bouncing. After the game he made sure everyone got home safely. I cant recommend Pedro highly enough and he made sure our first experience of South American football was a special one.

    My trip to see Fluminense at the Maracana was an absolute highlight of my trip to South America. Pedro communicated all the necessary details beforehand and kept in touch on the day of the game. The pre-game and match experience was amazing - I 100% recommend this to any football fan. Pedro was the perfect host, who ensured all participants were safely transported back to their hotel afterwards. As a solo female traveller, Pedro ensured all the stress was taken out of the experience by organising all the practical arrangements for all participants. I hope to be back someday!

    Pedro was wonderful and took great care of us before, during and after the Fluminense match at the Maracanã. He is very attentive and communicative before the match, establishing the meeting times and points. We took the metro to the game and began the pregame with other fans next to the Maracanã. We went into the stadium with our group of around 10 people and witnessed a beautiful free kick goal with an unmatched atmosphere. After Fluminense's victory, Pedro took care of our rides back to our hotels and was a great and respectful host all around. You won't regret booking Pedro for your next match!

    Mannnn! This was probably one of the most exciting lifetime experiences. Pedro was a huge part in ensuring that happened- from initial contact, meeting everyone (group was 12-14), taking a walk, riding the train, pregaming with other Fluminense fans, to walking into THE Maracanã stadium and ultimately watching Fluminense take the W home. Couldn’t be more appreciative of how everything was handled by Pedro- def recommend booking. Then book again for the next time you want to go!!

    Pedro is an INCREDIBLE tour guide. From start to finish he made sure everything was well organized, kept everyone in the loop, and most of all, made sure that the whole group felt welcomed!! I have been a football fan my whole life, and I must say, I have never experienced a greater atmosphere than I did at the Fluminense-Olimpia game at the world famous Maracanã. To anyone considering booking the Fluminense match day experience with Pedro, I give my full recommendation. What an unforgettable night, thank you again Pedro!

    The experience that Pedro prepared for us on match day was incredible. Pedro was very attentive the entire time making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Getting to hangout with true Fluminense fans blocks away from the pitch and the seat location was optimal to enjoy the show on the stands and the field (they truly are two different shows). We highly recommend this experience

    What a fantastic experience we had with our guy Pedro in the Maracanã-stadium. Me and my family of 6 watched the Fluminense vs Santos match, together with a few others that joined the group. Thanks to Pedro we had a great day. Perfectly clear communication before, during and after the match. He looked well after the group of 14 in total, making it a welcoming experience, telling us about the history and culture of the team and the stadium and taking us around whilst we enjoyed a drink or two. We would definitely recommend booking via HomeFans and if you go to see Fluminense, go with Pedro!

    We had a wonderful time with our guide Pedro at Fluminese vs sporting Crystal in the Copa Libertadores. Pedro picked us and our group of 9 up from Copacabana beach. He then took us to the ground and got us beers and bbq food from local fam bars. We soaked up the atmosphere before going into the ground where Pedro helped us get club merchandise. I have been to many games around the world but the atmosphere here was incredible. The fans singing, the drums, the concourse pre game. Was incredible! Pedro also helped us get a taxi home. Overall it was an incredible experience and we were delighted they made it through to the next round and Pedro was a great guide with lots of knowledge and passion for his team!

    Coming from the states I feel like a football match at Maracanã is a must when in Rio. We had a larger group with some younger fans. Pedro did an amazing job keeping an eye on all of us. Not once did I feel vulnerable or fearful. It was fun to have a drink and eat before the game with all the other fans. This was a blast and I highly recommend Pedro.

    We had an amazing Fluminense Matchday experience. Our guide Pedro is really nice and he took care that everyone feels good during the whole time. He organized everything perfectly, so we had such a great time. Before the game we were eating Brazilian BBQ and drank some beers in a street full of Fluminense fans close to the Maracanã Stadium. The atmosphere in the stadium was unforgettable because of having great seats. I highly recommend booking this! It was an amazing experience and it’s so much easier to get tickets without worrying about anything.

    Pedro was an unbelievable host and went above and beyond. He made our whole trip enjoyable and all round nice guy. Even before we got to Rio he was happy to suggest restaurants and places to visit. The experience was that good that myself and a group of friends went to 3 football matches within 6 days. Pedro ensured that we were safe even when we went to the derby and sat amongst the ultras. Couldn’t recommend his service enough. He has good footballing knowledge too, so definitely worth finding out the history of Fluminense as he’s willing to explain.

    An absolutely incredible night seeing a Fluminense/Vasco match at historic Maracanã — I would say that this was “once-in-a-lifetime,” but I have no doubt that I’ll be back in Rio and will sign up for another Fluminense match with Pedro when I do. He was an amazing host — kind, welcoming, and looked out for our safety at all parts of the night. He taught us the history of the club, the rivalries, and sitting deep in the “fan section” was an experience I’ll never forget (we left drenched in baby powder and beer in the best way possible). The cost included some drinks, food, match tickets, and Ubers at the end of the night to ensure we all got SAFELY back to Copacabana as a group. Special thanks as well to Pedro’s friend Rafaella and Pedro's brother too, who were instrumental in making sure we had fun and were safe and together as a group. I will absolutely return for another game (in my Fluminense jersey of course, and with some improved Portugese to go along with it); I consider Pedro my Brazilian brother now, and hope to return the favor at Yankee Stadium in NYC sometime soon! You won’t regret this 10-out-of-10 experience in Rio.

    To be honest, I've been sceptical about booking via homefans and go to the Fla-Flu-Derby with a tour guide. But I was desperated, common tickets were sold out and I at all cost wanted to get into the legendary Maracana. So I gave it a try - and really got surprised. Pedro not only was one of the nicest guys I've ever met, he also really is a passionate Fan of Fluminense, taught me a lot about Brazilian football culture and gave me and my girlfriend the best experience: we drank beer with the locals, he even got us into the supporters section (he seem to know everyone) and booked us a taxi back to our hostel. He really took care of us. The atmosphere was outstanding, a football match I will remember for a long time. I normally don't write reviews, but if someone deserve it then Pedro. Give him your money - you won't regret it.

    We went with a group of 12 friends together with our guide Pedro and his brother to the derby game Fluminese-Botafoga last week! I can still feel the rush and excitement when I think back on it! This was an experience I will remember all my life. First of all I would like to thank homefans! Everything from planning, questions and payment went very smooth! This organization is the best if you would like to see a football game abroad! They got me in contact with Pedro (our local host and Ultra fan of Fluminese)! I contacted Pedro for some extra questions before the game and he was super responsive and enthusiastic! He picked us up at the hotel to go pre-gaming in the streets around Maracana. So much fun to be among the real fans! Entering Maracana for me was as stepping in football heaven! Such a memorable temple!!! He found us some great ‘seats’ (nobody’s sitting! ) among the Fluminese Ultras! We sang , drank and jumped all match! So much fun! Pedro explained us the history of the club, why he’s so fanatic and his love of the game! I’m a big football fan, but my American friends never saw a match in person! Everybody (girls and boys) still say this was the highlight of our Brazilian trip! This is a must do! Pedro thank you for the amazing experience! We’ll stay in touch!!! Homefans thank you for setting this up!

    I have been to many football games, but the FlaFlu derby in Maracana was a once-in-a-lifetime experience - also thanks to our guide Mattheus. This guy „breathes“ football and Flamengo. He made sure that we get the real Rio derby experience including pre-Game gatherings with the fans and seats right in between the most passionate supporters. He made sure we’re feeling comfortable and are safe the entire night. This wouldn’t have been possible without him. Obrigado!
