What we will do in this experience

If you are a football fanatic and want to have a unique experience in Rio de Janeiro, even when there are no games at Maracanã, this is the perfect opportunity for you! Come watch a Flamengo match at Bakana Bar & Cozinha, the traditional meeting point for Flamengo fans. Here, football is more than just a sport: it is a celebration, a culture and a way to connect with people who share the same passion.

The experience takes place whenever Flamengo as away from home or outside Rio de Janeiro. We bring together tourists and local fans in a relaxed atmosphere full of stories. From an hour before the ball kicks off until an hour after the final whistle, you will be immersed in conversations about football, Flamengo curiosities and the context of the game, all with the unique energy of the Rubro-Negro Nation!

With a welcome drink to start, the relaxed atmosphere at Bakana makes you feel like a local fan. As we watch the game together, we share moments of excitement, emotion and, of course, the tradition of supporting Flamengo. It’s more than just watching football: it’s experiencing football in its essence.
