The Space
The iconic soccer temple known as Maracanã has been transformed into a once-in-a-lifetime overnight experience hosted by Brazilian soccer star, Renato Gaúcho. On May 30, the evening before the popular Fla-Flu derby match in Rio de Janeiro, a lucky winner and their guest will have the chance to sleep inside a redesigned VIP suite, complete with its own bed, bath and foosball table. That’s right: we’re bringing to life an idea that thousands of sports fans have only dreamt about. And the temporary Airbnb listing will feature one of the best seats in the house: a midfield view of the entire stadium.
The Details:
Do you eat, sleep, and breathe soccer? Because if you’re the winner of this Night At Maracanã, your host Renato Gaúcho will be welcoming you to one of the best experiences of your life. Get ready for a very special guided tour of the stadium, including visits to the President’s Suite, locker rooms and press room, followed by some time on the field to practice your penalty kicks. After your tours and practice session, Gaúcho will meet you for a very different kind of picnic, with traditional Brazilian fare and a private performance from local Rio musicians right there on the center of the Maracanã field. That evening, clean up in the same locker room showers that the teams use, then it’s off to bed in your VIP suite. Rest up, because you’ll be waking up for a full day of festivities during the Fla-Flu derby game. And yes, you’ll be taking it all in from the comfort of your very own VIP suite.
Built in 1950, Maracanã has hosted countless major soccer games in Brazil including last year’s 2014 FIFA World Cup finals match in which Germany defeated Argentina to become the current world champion. The stadium will also be one of the main venues for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games including both the opening and closing ceremonies. That is, of course, after becoming the home for one lucky guest during this Night At experience.
So how can you win an overnight stay at Maracanã? Tell us by 11:59 p.m. Brazil time on 5/21/15 why you (and a very lucky +1) should be the fans who experience this Night At the Maracanã Stadium!
• Don't mess up the wave when it comes around
• Keep the chanting of "Ole Ole Ole" volume down after 10 pm
• No swearing at the ref’s mother (or anyone’s mother for that matter!)
• If you tend to sweat a lot, leave the body paint behind or try not to hug your fellow fans
• Practice your celebration dance in advance, just in case you score a goal while playing with Renato Gaúcho
• Excluding the occasional tired player who naps on the bench, you will be the first person ever to sleep in the stadium
• No ball boys provided. If you kick the ball outside the field, you will be expected to fetch it.

About the Host, Renato Gaucho
Olá, meu nome é Renato Portaluppi, mais conhecido como Renato Gaucho ou "O Rei do Rio". Fui jogador profissional de futebol por 17 anos, atuando como titular da seleção brasileira e de diversos times do Rio de Janeiro - muitos dos quais também tive a honra de me tornar treinador posteriormente. Vivi muitas emoções no Maracanã, onde me sinto em casa, e espero fazer com que você se sinta em casa aqui também.
--------------------------------
Hi, I'm Renato Portaluppi, also known as Renato Gaucho or the “King of Rio”. I was a professional soccer player for 17 years, having played on the Brazil national soccer team and all major teams from the state of Rio de Janeiro - many of which I had the chance to coach afterwards. It's been an honor to have played and served as coach at Maracanã, where I feel very much at home. I hope to show you around and make you feel right at home here, too.
