The experience

You'll meet your local host at a designated point and head to Maracanã by metro, traveling alongside fellow fans the way Rio residents do on match day. This isn't a shuttle service that isolates you from the city. It's the actual route locals take, and the guide uses the journey to help you read the energy and talk to other supporters. Once you arrive at the stadium, you'll spend time in the pre-match atmosphere around Maracanã, where drinks and food are part of the scene. The group moves into the stadium in time to settle into your seats before the match begins.

Your ticket covers a short-side view of the pitch, and the welcome drink (beer, water or soda) arrives before the game. A Fluminense home match at Maracanã is a major event. The stadium holds one of the world's largest capacities, and the crowd noise and chanting are part of what you came for. Your guide stays with the group throughout, explaining the rhythms of Brazilian football culture and making sure the evening runs smoothly. After the final whistle, you'll make your way back toward the meeting point with the group.

The operator handles all ticket logistics and metro passes, so you don't arrive at the gate wondering if your entry is confirmed. Note that Fluminense uses facial recognition for entry. You'll complete that process with your host a few days before the match. The experience date can shift by a day or two if needed, so check the booking calendar for the match that fits your schedule.

• A local guide fluent in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
