What we will do in this experience

Hi, I’m Matheus, a lifelong Flamengo fan from Rio de Janeiro — and I’m here to take you on a truly unforgettable football journey!

If you’re looking for more than just watching a game, this is it. I’ll guide you through a full matchday experience at the legendary MaracanĂ£ Stadium, where you’ll feel the pulse of one of the most passionate fanbases in the world — the NaĂ§Ă£o Rubro-Negra.

We’ll meet before the game to soak in the pre-match atmosphere with local fans, chants, street food, and stories about the club’s rich history. Then, we head into the stadium to witness Flamengo in action — singing, jumping, and celebrating as if you were born in Rio.

    Matheus was a fantastic host. He has a long standing, deep passion for Flamengo and this came through in all his discussions ability the club, its players, the current dynamics in the league and history. He has a genuine interest in the guests he was hosting too - which made in a relaxing and fun evening. Matheus was very responsive to pre-game questions (especially important given the facial recognition ticketing system) and was at the meeting point early too. He picked a great meeting point that was close enough to the stadium while also easy to get to - and easy to get an Uber to get home from afterwards. He was very aware navigating the crowds with our group and I felt safe a comfortable throughout. He was proactive when offering context for anything that was happening, taking photos for us and making sure we had a great evening. We could not have asked for more. Thank you Matheus for making a great game experience for my son and me.
