Grêmio Arena currently utilizes facial recognition technology for entry.

Starting on January 26, 2025, the Grêmio Arena will implement facial recognition technology as a way to enter the stadium. This new system aims to reduce waiting times, enhance security, and improve the overall fan experience. Fans are required to register their facial features online before attending to ensure seamless entry.

Summary of essential information you need to understand

1. Facial recognition will be required for all spectators until June 2025.
2. The system removes the necessity for physical entry, making access to the stadium more efficient.
3. You can register in advance through the official Arena do Grêmio website.

Why did the Grêmio Arena decide to use facial recognition technology?

The technology must be adopted by stadiums seating over 20,000 people by 2025, as mandated by the General Law of Sport (paragraph 14,597/2023). This innovation is intended to enhance security by restricting event access to ticket holders, as well as providing increased comfort and reducing wait times.

After enrolling your facial biometrics, simply place your face on the ratchet device on game day. The system recognizes the fan and grants access – it’s that easy!

• Physical or digital tickets are unnecessary.
• Compulsory registration for everyone, including partners and children, at no cost.
• Photo identification and CPF documents are required for all verifications.

The change will happen slowly, starting in the West Gramado sector. Initially, individuals with a chair in this sector can choose between using biometrics or sticking with the carteirinha. This method helps with adjustment and ensures a smooth transition for all.

Bepass, a specialist in biometric access, is responsible for installing the system. They have experience equipping stadiums like the Maracanã and the Allianz Park, guaranteeing quality and expertise in fan experiences.
