I need help: will be in Rio from May 22-27, can anyone suggest where to catch a match, and how to check schedules for that week? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, either post here or email me...thanks!!!
You will be somewhat late. The Rio de Janeiro championship will be decided this weekend between Flamengo x Vasco and it looks like the tickets have been almost sold out. By the time you arrive the Brasileiro 2004 will have already began, but I don't have a table with the Carioca teams schedule for that time right now. If you're lucky you may also catch any games of Copa do Brasil, if both Carioca teams yet on dispute (Flamengo and Fluminense) won't be already eliminated by then.
Rio Clash 5/23 I've heard that there will be a match Sunday, 5/23 at Maracana, between Flu and Fla...true? Any details would be greatly appreciated...
Re: Rio Clash 5/23 That's correct. The first Fla x Flu of this year Brasileirão will be on the 23th of May.
Re: Rio Clash 5/23 great, thanks. I've arranged for tickets...any more background details would be appreciated, i.e. will a big crowd be expected? is this one of the bigger matches of the year? any other tips on Maracana would be very helpful, I think my hotel offers bus trip to the game, tickets, etc....thx!
