Times for 24 and 28 October are awaiting confirmation. Sections and availability are confirmed when you enquire about each match.

For me, going to Maracanã on match day is much more than sitting in the stands: it is feeling Rio’s heartbeat before the ball starts rolling. I accompany you so you can experience the atmosphere and enjoy every moment.

From the moment you leave your hotel or accommodation, we organise the day. We coordinate transfers, help with the facial registration required for access and arrange your ticket. We also explain the match logistics so you know where to be and what to do without having to sort everything out yourself.

The pre-match gathering is part of the match too

Near the stadium, we gather to share the football atmosphere before kick-off. There are beer and tequila for adults, juices, games for everyone and prizes. Our specialised trilingual guides accompany you and explain how local football is experienced as the excitement builds.

We then enter Maracanã together. We seek the best available places for each match, confirm the section before finalising and accompany you throughout the experience. When the match ends, we coordinate your return to your accommodation with the group.

You come to enjoy football; we handle tickets and logistics. It is a personalised experience, ideal both for fans and anyone wanting an authentically Rio night.

Before booking: each departure depends on an officially scheduled match. Opponent, stadium, time, section, entry conditions and availability are checked for each date. We confirm those details before finalising your booking.

More context to help you decide

First, a confirmed match

A football day in Rio centres on an official event. Club, opponent, stadium, time, section and sales may change; no match should be considered confirmed until the schedule and entry conditions have been published by the relevant sources.

Logistics for the day

Before booking, check what the experience includes, where to meet the group and transport, and how admission is confirmed. Bring identification and little luggage. Entrances, permitted items and arrival times depend on the organiser and authorities; follow the final instructions received for that match.

Tour or match

If you would rather explore the stadium and its history without attending a match, choose the Maracanã stadium tour.

A stadium visit explores its history and spaces; attending a match is a crowded day centred on the game. If both interest you, they are different plans. On this page we show the available dates we handle. Times, sections and availability may change, so we confirm the current terms before booking.

Editorial guide. Hours, access, weather, routes, fares and availability can change; confirm details with the operator or official source before heading out.

A match day, more than just a ticket

To enquire about a match, send your travel dates, group size and the team or fixture you are interested in. Mention any seating-area preference: we check the schedule, stadium, tickets and current conditions before confirming. Messaging me on WhatsApp does not guarantee a ticket or booking.

Depending on the schedule, we can offer Flamengo, Fluminense and other major Rio matches. Before confirming, we check the stadium, opponent, time, section and actual sales terms: we never promise a match that is not yet officially scheduled.

Duration: between 5 and 7 hours depending on the match and logistics.

Limited places · subject to the official schedule.

Meeting point: your accommodation area or a meeting point confirmed when booking.

Price: check prices and sections in the October calendar.
