nobody goes there but is because they don`t know how beautiful it is, and is so cheap, most locals have never even heard about it, it is not just about football, is about all the experience around it, is about being an afficionate to the game, super different and great experience...

I have to start my admitting that football, is not my thing but I have taken several football fanatic guests to the museum. And the nice thing was .... we all had a good time. The museum is housed in, and under, Sao Paulo's Pacembu Footbal Stadium. Entry is very reasonable at (R$6 adult, R$3 child) and the museum deals... More

We speak Portuguese, so I don't know if they have maps in English or staff that speaks English. We loved it!,,,, we went on a Saturday,... More

Museu do Futebol sits at the entrance of Pacaembu Stadium, this is the city stadium it doesn't belong to any team. If you go there and had a chance to visit the stadium as well do it. This museum is great because it has several interactive activities so kids and enthusiasts will love it. You may kick a penalty shoot,... More

Heard great things about this place but wasn't sure. However when entering the museum I found it truely awesome. They offer translation phones to listen to each room in English there are 16 in total. You can test your skill at penalties and found everything interactive Great way to spend a couple of hours

If you like soccer, take the time to visit the Museum of Football. Many interactive activities and lots of video clips and information about soccer in Brazil. Spent a great time, and could have spent a couple more hours.

Our Spanish is a little weak so we missed a lot of the information. Even with this in mind the museum was good but given this is a football museum in brazil I thought there would be more on display. If you want to learn about brazilian football and see how fast you can strike a penalty then this is... More
