Neymar to participate in the 2026 World Cup: Awaiting "The Last Samba Dance"

After more than a decade of carrying the hopes of all of Brazil on his shoulders, the star born in 1992, Neymar, is heading towards what could be the last World Cup of his career.

​

The 2026 World Cup could be Neymar's "last samba dance".

For many years, Neymar has been the greatest icon of the new generation of Brazilian football. He represents the remnants of the samba style that once captivated the world : technique, flair, speed, and the ability to make a difference in an instant. But with time, injuries, pressure, and successive World Cup failures have made Neymar's journey more controversial than any Brazilian star before him.

The 2026 World Cup could therefore be Neymar's "final samba dance" on the biggest stage in world football. It's not simply the last World Cup for a great player, but could also be the farewell of an entire generation of Brazilian footballers with a strong artistic flair – a characteristic that has defined the Selecao for decades.
