Confirm step-free access, lift dimensions, an adapted bathroom and the exact assigned room.

04Match-night return

Recheck official transport, road closures, final services and your practical drop-off point close to departure.

Getting there

MATCHDAY PLAN

  1. 01

    Take Line 3-Red toward Corinthians–Itaquera and follow event signage from the station.

  2. 02

    Do not assume ordinary transfer rules or opening times will remain unchanged on tournament days.

  3. 03

    The station lists lifts, adapted access and integrated rail and bus connections.

  4. 04

    Wait for the initial post-match surge to ease if you have no immediate connection.

Accessibility

Corinthians–Itaquera station officially lists adapted access and a preferential lift. FIFA's later event guide should be treated as the authority for stadium gates, accessible seating routes and drop-off points.

Arrival

Guarulhos and Congonhas require different arrival plans. Choose lodging based on the whole trip, not airport proximity alone, and verify the latest official airport rail/bus operation before travel.
