Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho (Maracanã): Flamengo and Fluminense matches & tickets

Opened for the 1950 World Cup, the Maracanã is the shared stage of Flamengo and Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro, and still feels like one of football’s grand theatres. It sits in the Maracanã area, not far from the city’s main transport links, so getting there from central Rio is usually straightforward. The scale is huge, around 78,838, but the mood can still feel intense, especially when a Fla-Flu derby fills the place with noise and colour. You are coming for Brazilian Serie A, Copa do Brasil, or Libertadores nights with real weight behind them. Find upcoming fixtures, tickets, and everything for a matchday visit below.
