Definitely one of the best, if not THE best, live football experiences I've ever had. The atmosphere, music, vibes were incredible. Let alone the entertaining football match. Brazilians have this warmth and inate ability to make people feel welcome. I went during the carnival period, and after a long day walking around, I was a bit fatigued so I ended up leaning on the wall with my arms crossed watching the game. Two fans came over to me to check if I was okay, and I responded that I was fine. Immediately they said "why do you arms folded then? You can't do that here. You're here to enjoy, have fun my friend!" Immediately put me back in a good mood and my fatigued seemed to just disappear 😅 You'd be fine solo, and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many kids having a great time with the die-hard fans. In European football, most spectators tend to avoid the die-hard fan section - isn't a welcoming environment in the stands. All this to say, it's a must go!
