Live the passion of Vasco da Gama like a true Carioca fan!
This is your chance to experience a matchday from the inside — chanting, cheering, and celebrating as if you were born into the Vasco family.
We’ll kick things off the local way: pre-match beers and churrasco (Brazilian barbecue) alongside passionate supporters. Your local host will share epic stories about Vasco da Gama’s history, heroes, rivalries, and what it really means to wear the black and white.
After soaking up the pre-game buzz, we’ll head to the stadium — a true cauldron of football energy. The moment you step inside, you’ll feel the ground shake with drums, chants, and the roar of one of Brazil’s most intense fan bases. For 90 minutes, Vasco fans don’t stop and neither will you!
Match dates and venues are subject to change. Some games may be moved to Maracanã, and dates may shift by 1–2 days. We’ll keep you informed as soon as updates are available.

The atmosphere at a Vasco game is really awesome. You can see how passionate the fans of Vasco are for their team and football in general. I would love to go back to another Vasco game someday!
