Accustomed to large crowds at its matches, Flamengo has moved to Engenhão (João Havelange Olympic Stadium) due to the closure of Maracanã. And if fans aren't used to going to the club's new home, the club's official website offers a guide to getting there and going.

Below is basic information to help Flamengo fans arrive and depart from Engenhão with peace of mind. Click here for ticket purchasing information.

SUBWAY-TRAIN
Fans can reach Engenhão via the Metro-Train connection, informing the ticket office at the boarding station of their intention to make this connection. Fans can get off the metro at Central or São Cristóvão stations and proceed to the train stations with the same names. There, they will have various options to Engenho de Dentro station, with intervals of between five and ten minutes. There is a walkway in front of the south sector.

TREM
Fans can reach Engenhão by train. Just get off at Engenho de Dentro station and head toward the stadium. There's a walkway in front of the south section. Supervia usually schedules extra trains on game days, including evening matches. The concessionaire recommends fans purchase the MultiPass Card, which includes pre-paid round-trip tickets, to facilitate boarding.

The red-black can also use the train-bus integration, which takes place at the Central do Brasil, Méier, Cascadura, Madureira, Marechal Hermes, Deodoro, Bangu, Campo Grande, Nova Iguaçu and Santa Cruz stations.

Do not, under any circumstances, take trains to Saracuruna, Gramacho, Caxias (lines that run through the suburbs of Leopoldina), and Belford Roxo (Auxiliary Line). All of these branches, mentioned last, go to other points in Greater Rio.
