Key Points
Brazil plays Haiti tonight at 21h30 Rio time — the team’s second World Cup match. The whole city organises around it, and the weather is perfect: 24°C, just 5% rain, the cleanest night of the week.
Beco do Rato (Lapa, Rua Joaquim Silva 11) shows the match on a 142-inch screen with live samba — Samba do Xoxó and Galocantô — from about R$35. Football and a Lapa roda in one room, the standout pick.
Arena Passeio (Lapa, Passeio Público) runs a free fan fest with the match on a big screen plus O Samba da Volta and Samba do Passeio — free entry, but you must reserve a ticket on Sympla in advance.
Rio Scenarium (Centro, R. do Lavradio 20) screens the match in its Espaço Rio de Janeiro and gives free entry to anyone wearing their national team’s shirt on match nights, then runs its usual samba.
