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 Maracanã Stadium, where you’ll feel the pulse of one of the most passionate fanbases in the world — the Nação 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 an incredible host, from the initial information needed on how to complete the facial recognition process, to meeting instructions and then the actual game. He was knowledgeable and friendly throughout. The atmosphere in the walk up to the stadium was great, but inside it was truly amazing! What an experience! Highly recommend Matheus and his tour, and would do it again.

Amazing experience in Rio de Janeiro! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized by Matheus. We met before the match for a beer in a local bar, which was the perfect way to get into the vibe. The host was super friendly and made the whole experience a highlight, while making us feel safe at all times. The atmosphere around CR Flamengo and inside the Maracanã Stadium was absolutely incredible. Would definitely recommend it and do it again!

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.
