We start by picking you up from your hotel. Then, we head to the Maracanã Stadium in the northern part of the city. They built it for the 1950 FIFA World Cup and modernized it for the 2014 tournament.
Upon arrival, the tour starts outside the stadium, where we admire the iconic statue of Mauro Bellini, the Brazilian captain who lifted the country’s first World Cup trophy in 1958.
Inside the stadium, we visit the Maracanã Museum. Here, we see artifacts donated by some of the sport’s most celebrated players, including jerseys, boots, and balls. The museum captures the passion and legacy of Brazilian football, offering insights into the careers of legends who have played here.
Next, we explore areas usually reserved for players and staff. The locker rooms showcase the spaces where athletes gear up for the game, while the warm-up room gives a glimpse of pre-match rituals. Walking through these areas brings you closer to the reality of match days, revealing the inner workings of a world-class football venue.

The highlight of the tour is walking through the tunnel that leads to the field. This is the same path taken by players as they prepare to face roaring crowds on game day. As we step onto the pitch, the scale of the stadium becomes apparent. Standing on the grass, we experience what it feels like to be in the center of the action.
We then move to the Maracanã Mais section, where we get a premium view of the field. From here, we soak in the stadium’s layout and imagine the electric atmosphere during major matches. This is also a prime spot for photos, capturing the essence of the stadium with the pitch and stands in the background.
The tour wraps up in the press conference room, where players and coaches address the media after games. Sitting in this space gives a special view of how the stadium works beyond the field. It shows how the stadium serves as a center for global football coverage.
