Project was presented this Wednesday (17)

Manager of the Maracanã, Flamengo announced a new feature for the stadium in 2027. In partnership with Fluminense, the Rubro-Negro will open a new, more modern museum, with immersive experiences that tell the story of football’s Sacred Temple. The news was announced this Wednesday (17), during a meeting of the Deliberative Council, in the Salão Nobre da Gávea, in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone.

The contract for the construction of the new museum was already signed on January 30, 2026. Now, all that remains is the process of presenting the project to the Government, which should happen later this June. Construction is already underway.

According to the contract signed by Flamengo and Fluminense, the museum must be inaugurated by September 2027. However, the parties involved will try to speed up the process so that everything is ready by May. The idea is for the public coming to Brazil for the Women’s World Cup, in June and July, to be able to visit the new space.

WHAT WILL THE MUSEUM BE LIKE, AFTER ALL?

The new Maracanã museum will tell two different stories, divided into two sections. The first will feature special content about the fans, of course, with emphasis on the Rubro-Negro Nation, the biggest fanbase in Rio de Janeiro and in Brazil.

The second part presents Maracanã’s place within Rio de Janeiro. In a third moment, the two sections come together, showing who made history in the Sacred Temple, such as athletes, artists who performed shows at the venue, etc.

Finally, the new museum will have an interactive space where visitors will be able to feel as if they are on the pitch, playing, in an attraction with technological investment. There will also be a gaming area, intended to attract younger audiences.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY AT THE MARACANÃ?

While work on the Maracanã museum moves forward, Flamengo fans continue to miss the Sacred Temple. That is because Mengão last played at the venue on May 30, in a 3-0 win over Coritiba, in the 2026 Brasileirão.
