Maracana Stadium

Maracanã Stadium has been the backdrop for some of Brazil's most thrilling soccer moments, hosting unforgettable matches and historic events in international soccer. One monumental moment that took place on its iconic field was Pelé's thousandth goal in 1969, forever etching Maracanã into the annals of sports history.

After a major renovation, Maracanã now boasts a seating capacity of 78,838, offering a modern and secure experience for fans. The stadium has embraced sustainability with features like solar panels and a rainwater collection system, which supplies water to its 292 bathrooms and four dressing rooms. Security is top-notch with 360 cameras ensuring constant surveillance. New access ramps and 12 escalators, along with 17 elevators, make getting around a breeze.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of new bars and snack options, all while seated in retractable chairs made from certified materials and recycled plastic bottles. Maracanã is thoughtfully divided into five levels across its north, south, east, and west sectors. This smart division makes it easy for fans to find their way using a clear system of gates, sectors, blocks, levels, rows, and seats. The stadium is inclusive too, with seating for those with obesity, designated areas for people with special needs, and tactile flooring for the visually impaired. Beyond the game, there's so much to explore around Maracanã. The nearby Quinta da Boa Vista park offers lush greenery and a taste of nature in the bustling city. Or take a short trip to the National Museum of Brazil, located within the park, where you can dive into the country's rich history and culture. This area is a perfect blend of sports, history, and leisure, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
