The Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has always been recognized as the largest football stadium in the world. It can accommodate 205,000 people, including 155,000 seats. The fourth World Cup was held in this country in July 1950, and the championship battle between Brazil and Uruguay started here. There were 199,000 spectators at the time, but the actual number of spectators was 25. To date, this astonishing record is the highest in the world. Due to the long-term disrepair and deterioration of the quality, the number of spectators has been continuously reduced to ensure safety. So far, there are only 149,195 seats left. To this end, the stadium underwent major renovations, a special renovation committee was established, and two decisions were made: the number of spectator seats was reduced by 20,000; and the cement seats were replaced with plastic chairs. This means that after the renovation, the Maracana Stadium will have only 129,195 seats left. In this way, Maracana will lose its title of world number one and will be replaced by the Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo. The stadium can accommodate 150,000 people.

The Maracana Football Stadium was built to host the 1950 World Cup. The correct name is "Jornalista Mario Filho" (Jornalista Mario Filho) in honor of the most famous sports columnist of the time. Maracana Football Stadium is well-known at home and abroad. It can be said that like Corcovado and Pao de Acucar, it is one of the symbols of the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. Although the stadium was opened in 1950, the construction of the entire football field was not completed until 1965. It became the largest football field in the world at that time, with a lawn area of ??110 meters long and 75 meters wide.

Maracana has a "Hall da Fama" (Hall of Fame), which honors 50 players who have performed outstandingly on the court, including Zico, Garrincha and Romario. Next to the football stadium there are also the Ginasio Gilberto Cardoso Stadium (Ginasio Gilberto Cardoso), known as the "Little Maracana" (Maracanazinho), the Estadio de Atletismo Celio de Barros (Estadio de Atletismo Celio de Barros) and the Giulio de Rama Parque Aquático Julio Delamare
