Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at BaKana Bar & Cozinha — welcome, briefing and welcome drink
Meet your Homefans Local Host and the group at BaKana Bar & Cozinha for check-in, a quick safety briefing, and the included welcome drink. The host will confirm names for the stadium facial-recognition process and distribute metro tickets.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring your passport or government photo ID for the mandatory facial-recognition check at stadium entry.
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early — check-in is punctual so the group can leave on time for the metro.
- Wear comfortable clothing and a small daypack; large bags may be refused at stadium security.
Metro to Maracanã (host provides metro ticket & guidance)
Walk with the host to the nearest metro/rail stop and travel together to the Maracanã area using the provided metro ticket. The host will manage the group through the station and direct you to the correct exit for stadium entry.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep the provided metro ticket safe until you exit the system — you will need it to leave the station.
- Follow the host's directions for the exact train line and exit — multiple lines and exits serve Maracanã.
- Stand on the right of escalators and hold belongings close in crowded platforms; avoid displaying valuables.
Pre-match fan atmosphere and host briefing outside Maracanã
Arrive outside Maracanã with your local host, soak up the fan atmosphere, and receive a short orientation on stadium entry, chanting areas, and safe meeting points for after the match. The host will hand over the match tickets and guide you to the standing short-side area.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep your ticket and ID ready — stadium security will check both during entry.
- Agree on a visible post-match meeting point with the host in case your group gets separated.
- Avoid standing directly next to active drumming or smoke devices if you prefer some distance from the densest fan zones.
Flamengo match — short side standing ticket (match duration)
Enter the stadium with your host and experience the match from the short side standing area with local Flamengo supporters. The host stays with the group for safety, guidance, and to explain key moments and chants.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect loud, continuous cheering and songs — ear protection is recommended if you are sensitive to noise.
- No large bags or umbrellas are allowed inside; follow stadium staff instructions for prohibited items.
- Stay hydrated during the match; bottled drinks are available inside but not included in the tour.
Return by metro and quick debrief at BaKana
After the match the host will lead the group back to the metro, accompany the transit ride, and return to BaKana or a nearby meeting point for a short debrief and farewells.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect larger crowds on the metro after the match; stay close to the host and keep your group together.
- If you need cash for snacks or transport, withdraw before leaving the stadium area — ATMs can be busy post-match.
- Confirm the exact return time with the host before you split up; mobile signal can be weak in crowded zones.
