Detailed 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:
