Itinerary
"How the Football Match Experience at Maracanã Unfolds – Step by Step" Once your booking is confirmed for the selected date, at least one week before the match, we will contact you to guide you through a facial biometric registration process. Important: There are no physical tickets for Fluminense or Flamengo matches — both clubs require facial recognition to enter the stadium. Your face will be your ticket, and registering properly is essential. We'll send: • A video tutorial, • The official biometric registration link, • Your personal data summary (to be used exactly as submitted), • Clear instructions on how to complete the process. Make sure you complete the facial biometric registration before match day and let us know once it's done so we can validate your entry with the local coordination team.
"2 Days or 1 Day Before the Match" We will contact you again to: * Confirm the exact meeting time, * Share the meeting point details, * Provide our emergency contact number and your guide’s name. Meeting times vary depending on kickoff (generally between 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM), and the experience lasts around 6 hours total. "On Match Day" We will meet at our fixed point in Ipanema: * Nossa Senhora da Paz Subway Station During the ride, your bilingual guide will provide context about the stadium, teams, and what to expect from the passionate fans. They’ll also escort you through the biometric checkpoints, security, and into your seats. You’ll be supported from start to finish — no stress, just football. After the match, we’ll drive back to Ipanema, where you can take a taxi or Uber back to your hotel.
"About Maracanã and the Clubs" The Maracanã Stadium is one of the most legendary football venues in the world. It has hosted historic moments like: * The 1950 and 2014 World Cup Finals, * The 2016 Olympic Games, * Concerts by international artists, * And countless classic football derbies. It’s currently managed and shared by two of Brazil’s most iconic teams: * Flamengo * Fluminense These clubs have millions of fans and play high-level matches across multiple competitions, including: * Campeonato Brasileiro (Brasileirão) – Brazil’s national league * Copa do Brasil – top domestic cup * Copa Libertadores – South America's most prestigious tournament * Recopa Sul-Americana, Supercopa do Brasil * Campeonato Carioca – the traditional Rio state championship No matter the game, the atmosphere is electrifying — with chants, drums, flags, and fans living every minute with intensity.

Traveler reviews
Great fun football game and experience
It was an incredibly fun match and everything was well organised. Our guide was great. I highly recommend booking this.
Cheating
I took the tour believing that I was quite well since I am a footballer , obviously the game was a spectacle but 150€ that I paid when talking to people on my side had cost them up to 3 and 4 times less and another if you take a bus but to return I had to pay Uber since there disappeared everyone stayed waiting in the area that they said like half an hour
Very well-organized, and we had a thrilling, inspirational experience
We were extremely happy with the communication and organization of the tour company, which made a trip to the Maracana user-friendly. The meeting point in Ipanema was clear, and they had helped with the facial ID for the stadium and were generally friendly and efficient. Although I don’t think it’s a commitment, they actually did drop off people on the way back through Copacabana and Ipanema to the original spot, which was very convenient for us. Bear in mind the league’s date for our match changed several times back and forward by 1 day, so be prepared to switch out other events or tours. But we were extraordinarily lucky our fixture turned out to be Flamengo’s championship-winning match. We utterly loved it and are very grateful to the tour company for making this extraordinary experience possible.
Excellent service
It was a great experience from start to finish, I was guided from the moment of booking to the moment I finished the experience
Maracana Match Day Tour
One of the highlights of my trip to Rio. Anderson was an excellent guide. Easy transfer by van straight to the stadium. Everything was straight forward and it was an excellent at atmosphere. Would highly recommend this tour!
