    "How the Football Match Experience at Maracanã Unfolds – Step by Step"

    Once your booking is confirmed for the selected date, at least one week before the match, we will contact you to guide you through a facial biometric registration process.
    Important:
There are no physical tickets for Fluminense or Flamengo matches — both clubs require facial recognition to enter the stadium. Your face will be your ticket, and registering properly is essential.
    We'll send:
    • A video tutorial,
    • The official biometric registration link,
    • Your personal data summary (to be used exactly as submitted),
    • Clear instructions on how to complete the process.
    Make sure you complete the facial biometric registration before match day and let us know once it's done so we can validate your entry with the local coordination team.
