The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens are overseas at Rio de Janeiro's iconic Maracanã Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 27, for an international matchup under the bright lights. These two teams are both 1-1 going into the game, making this a truly remarkable early-season watch with more at stake than the usual Week 3.

With the Cowboys and Ravens in Rio, it makes sense that their cheerleaders would go, too.

Both teams' cheerleaders are there, but, of course, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are a known brand more than any other franchise's cheerleading squad.

It's worth following what Brazil thinks of these teams' cheerleading squads ahead of the game.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys aren't the only ones in Rio. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are also out in full force in the city. Ahead of the game, they've been sharing a lot of football-related content from their adventures around Rio, as well as shots in their uniforms ahead of the game.

"In awe of one of the wonders," one Instagram post reads, captioning a gallery with photos of the ladies around Rio, taking in the sights and sounds of the city.

They shared another album captioned "Rehearsals at Maracanã" with photos of the women cheering at the stadium and getting used to their new surroundings.

The trip has given the Cowboys Cheerleaders a chance to experience a very different kind of game-day atmosphere, and they're obviously making the most of every minute.

Between rehearsals, sightseeing and getting ready for the big matchup, the squad has kept fans in the loop throughout the trip. Rio is a long way from Dallas, but the familiar Cowboys stars and blue-and-white uniforms have brought a little piece of home with them.
