Neymar's participation in the World Cup has caused a public uproar. |
This will be Neymar's fourth World Cup appearance, bringing him level with the record of legendary Pele.
Neymar's return holds special significance for Brazilian football. Since suffering a serious injury against Uruguay in the South American World Cup qualifiers in October 2023, the striker born in 1992 has almost disappeared from the national team. A knee ligament injury forced him to take a long break from playing and undergo a difficult recovery process.
The news that Neymar will participate in the 2026 World Cup has caused a social media frenzy. Many fans are delighted that the former Paris Saint-Germain star will return to the national team at the most exciting tournament on the planet.
One fan wrote on social media: "Welcome Neymar to the World Cup." Another commented: "Brazil is missing out big time without Neymar." Another account remarked: "Even though his form isn't what it used to be, Neymar is still important to the national team."

Before coach Carlo Ancelotti announced his final lineup at the Museum of the Future in Rio de Janeiro, hundreds of fans gathered outside the venue to urge the Italian strategist to give Neymar a chance.
Many people carried banners and replica trophies, and continuously chanted the name of Brazil's number 10. The fervent atmosphere showed that Neymar remains a major icon of the "Selecao," despite the controversies surrounding his form and fitness in recent years.
For Neymar, the 2026 World Cup could be his last chance to win the biggest title of his international career after the heartbreaks at the 2014, 2018, and 2022 World Cups.
