Football (Soccer) Museum

A really good football museum, but be aware that a lot of things aren't translated into English. It's also sustainable for kids so if you have a family you can have for sure a nice interactive experience. I gave 4/5 stars because the museum don't offer english translation and it could be crowded of children. But it's still really interesting and a really good set up.

I went there twice, and both times I was not disappointed. When I went with my father he was really happy to have gone. Lots of things to see, the evolution of the game, the cleats, the ball, history of all of the clubs in Brazil. Cool activities to try. Plus you can purchase any jersey of any team you like and personalize the jersey. Fun thing to remember the visit.

Great museum about all aspects of the sport, in all its varieties and historical significances. I think it's worth the visit even for people who don't particularly like the sport in itself. The museum explains the particular Brazilian culture of the football in the bairros. Women's football is also talked about a lot. At the end of the museum, you can make some attempts to score goals yourself. The store on the side is also very varied!

It is an interesting museum about Brazilian football and worth visiting if you are a football fan.

I wish the exhibits on the first floor had translations, they seem newer and explore the fascinating history of amateur football. Otherwise, a well-designed and highly interactive space, albeit focused on Latin American and Brazilian football rather than being exhaustive. Not that it claims to be, of course!

The museum’s interactive exhibits bring the beautiful game to life, showcasing Brazil’s rich football legacy through historic photographs, videos, and memorabilia. Highlights include sections dedicated to legendary players like Pelé, Garrincha, and Zico, as well as emotional moments like World Cup victories. The interactive displays, such as recreating the sounds of a stadium crowd, make the experience truly immersive. It’s not just about football—it also explores its impact on Brazilian culture, identity, and society. Whether you’re a football fan or just curious about Brazil’s greatest passion, the Museu do Futebol is a must-visit when in São Paulo.

A place with Brazilian history of football. If you are a football fan you should visit! It's free on Tuesday

incedible museum! It's a place filled with the history of Brazilian soccer, and is a must-see for soccer fans. The game area was very popular with children. It's a place where adults can enjoy themselves and return to their childhood:)

Yelp Review 2025 #166: It's a small museum located inside Pacaembu Stadium focusing on Brazilian futebol culture and history. I went on the first Tuesday of the month which meant admission was free and they don't close till 9pm! Their normal hours are Tuesday to Sunday 9am-5pm. I was honestly expecting this place to be packed especially if you don't have to pay for admission - not that the tickets are expensive. It's 24 Brazilian Reais which is about $4.50, half price for students, low-income youth, seniors, and retirees. Children 7 and under can come in for free. I've been to futbol museums in Spain, Germany, FIFA Museum in Switzerland, etc and this museum seems underwhelming compared to the places I've been to. But remember, this is a museum focusing on Brazilian futebol only. Most, if not all, of the information are in Portuguese. But there are pictures/ graphics that will help you understand what is written. Or just take a picture and translate on your phone. It's visually interesting. It's not just pictures and memorabilia and next to them are labels you have to read and be bored by. You'll see the greatest jogador de futebol brasileiro like Marta and Pele. Nelson Rodrigues, a playwright, was credited for "inventing" Brazilian futebol. But it's Charles Miller who brought futebol to Brazil and considered the "father of Brazilian futebol". The street the stadium/ museum is on was named after him. There's a gift shop where you can get souvenirs like kits, shirts, keychains, toys, scarves, mugs, tumblers, water bottles, soccer balls, etc. The kits include Brazilian teams, Brazilian national team, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. There's a cafe should you need a snack or a drink before/ after your tour of the museum. Make sure you get your ticket online even if you're coming in for free. You walk straight to the turnstiles skipping the ticketing office line.

This museum was a must visit for me since I love soccer. I really enjoyed that a few parts were interactive, the foosball tables and being able to kick a soccer ball to measure your speed are two examples. It is definitely worth checking out if you are in São Paulo.

If there is one thing that is ingrained in Brazil culture, it's a deep love and passion for the sport of soccer. After all, they are the most decorated team in World Cup history. With that in mind, it was a no-brainer to check out the Museu do Futebol in Sao Paulo. My buddy and I Ubered over soon after they opened and spent a couple of hours perusing all the museum has to offer. A couple of things stood out. First of all, it's a large museum with multiple levels. You can easily spend three hours there if you're reading everything. Unfortunately for me, part of it is in Portuguese only, so that complicated matters. There is a feature on Google Translate though where you can take a picture of text and it automatically translates it for you. That's the quickest way to do the job if you're willing to put in the effort. Another thing I like about the museum is that there are a good number of interactive portions. There's an area that recreates a stadium experience at a Brazilian club soccer game so you can feel the excitement of the crowd. There are holograms of Brazil's most famous soccer stars. There's an area where you can take a penalty kick by kicking a real soccer ball at a virtual goalkeeper. And more. The museum does a great job of teaching you about the history of the game and Brazil's part in it in a compelling way. The museum is laid out well, and it's time well spent, for soccer fans and non-soccer fans alike.

Going to this museum helped me better understand Brazilians and their culture more than any caipirinha could. These great events in the history of the sport are their history. These are their moments that generations talk about. And to be among them as they strolled through this museum was an experience I would have never even thought to ask for. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the first thing about soccer. There is a ball, and you kick it towards a goal. Don't use your hands or arms. Okay, maybe those are the first things to know about soccer, but beyond that I have no clue. But none of that mattered as far as this museum is concerned. Of course I didn't know any of the players names, let alone that they are regarded as national heroes, but what I did learn was the regard that Brazilians have for the game and its players and, most importantly, Brazil's place in the world and the sense of national pride the people have because of it. That's it. I could go on and on about it. Just go. Go. You won't regret it...unless you're from Argentina ;)

A fun and interactive look into the football culture in Brazil. Even if you're not a fan of the sport, it is worth the visit.

One of my favorite museum experiences. Wonderful setup. I really liked the library section of the museum because they had all kinds of old artifacts, the digital rooms are really cool as well.
