What we will do in this experience
You’ll get to know not just a stadium, but a symbol of world football.
Opened in 1950 for the World Cup, the Maracanã was once the largest stadium on the planet and has become the stage for unforgettable moments in the history of the sport. Pelé scored his thousandth goal in 1969, the whole world watched two World Cup finals (1950 and 2014), it was there that Brazil won its first gold medal in football in 2016, and it’s the home of Fluminense and Flamengo.
Great players like Garrincha, Zico, Romário, Ronaldo, Adriano, and Gabigol have played here. And the best part is getting to know the “Temple of Football” with a guide who is always in the stands cheering for his team; besides being a certified guide, I’m a passionate fan!

The tour will take you through the locker rooms, the substitutes’ bench and stands, the mixed zone, a historical collection with historic jerseys from the Brazilian national team and clubs from Rio de Janeiro, and we will also see a walk of fame of the great stars in the history of Brazilian and world football!
The tour continues with a short walk outside the stadium, where you will see the statue of Bellini, captain of the Brazilian national team in the 1958 and 1962 World Cups, the Maracanãzinho (outside), and a stop at a traditional pre-game bar, Bode Cheiroso, where you will receive a cold draft beer!
