Here we go.... The Maracana is the stadium. and the Major/Biggest teams that play there are Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco, and Botafogo. The games You Would be looking for are the Derbyâ€™s (Rivals). Some of which are the Best in the World. Youâ€™re in luck (or not), because Flamengo x Fluminense, one of the best derbyâ€™s of the world is being held on August 31, on Sunday at 6:10 local time. This would be my #1 choice. if thats not within youre visiting time, Vasco x Botafogo will be played on August 24th, Sunday at 6:10. And if that isnt in your visiting time, Flamengo x Gremio will be played on August 20th, Wednesday at 8:30 (this would be my 2# choice).

You can get tickets at the Stadium, although i doubt they speak english. it might be sold out before, so make sure you get there 2 days before, when the Tickets are released to the public, or on game-day, in the morning, and dont be surprised to see long lines then...here are the schedules for the folowing, the team's next match are After the bolded letters:

Step1Plan your trip to Brazil during the soccer season. If you are a huge soccer fan you will want to attend a championship game. There are championship games between regional teams as well as national teams from around the world. Check the FIFA and CBF Web sites for schedules (see Resources, below).
Step2Buy your tickets in advance. Championship or tournament games are more likely to sell out than regular league games, but it is best to buy your tickets ahead of time just in case.
Step3Know which team you are rooting for and be sure to sit in that team's section. Brazilian fans are passionate about their teams. You would not want to anger dedicated fans by sitting in their section and rooting for their rivals.
Step4Buy a jersey for the team you like and wear it to the game. Jerseys are sold outside the stadium as well as at shops throughout the city. To be safe, you can always buy the yellow and green jersey of the Selecao Brasileira, or National Brazilian Team.
Step5Get to the stadium early and expect to wait in line.
Step6Watch the game and cheer as loudly as the people around you.
