How to Buy Tickets as a Foreigner
Buying football tickets in Brazil — especially for Flamengo or Fluminense games — can be surprisingly complicated if you're not a local.
Most tourists can’t buy online using international credit cards. The only other option is going in person to the official Flamengo store, where lines are long and English support is rare; and that’s only during business hours.
And even if you manage to pay, there’s one more barrier:
Facial recognition is required to enter the stadium — and registering properly can be confusing if you don't understand the system.
Here’s what most foreigners struggle with:
-
❌ Long queues on official websites that often crash
-
❌ International cards not being accepted
-
❌ No English support
-
❌ Complex and unclear facial registration process
-
❌ Limited in-person sales only in specific locations (like Flamengo’s store)

Transportation & Safety Tips
Getting to Maracanã is easier than most people expect — especially if you plan ahead. Whether you're staying in Copacabana, Ipanema, or downtown Rio, there are safe and affordable options to reach the stadium on match day.
Here are the best ways to get there, plus some important tips to stay safe and comfortable throughout your experience:
-
Metro (subway):
One of the best ways to reach Maracanã. The trip costs about $1.50 USD and you can pay using contactless cards, Apple Pay, or Samsung Pay.
The closest station is just a 6-minute walk from the stadium. Streets around the stadium are closed on match day, so walking is unavoidable. -
Uber or taxi:
Also a great choice. Expect to walk a short distance due to restricted vehicle access near the stadium. -
Stay alert:
Although the area is well-policed, avoid flashing your phone or wearing valuable jewelry. If you need to use your phone, do it near a police car or group.
