Neymar Selected for Brazil's 2026 World Cup Squad
Neymar has been included in Brazil's final 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, marking his fourth appearance in the tournament. This selection comes after Neymar's recovery from a serious ankle injury earlier in his career.
He is Brazil's leading goal scorer with 79 international goals and has scored eight goals in previous World Cups. Joao Pedro, despite an outstanding season in the Premier League with 20 goals, was left out of Carlo Ancelotti's final squad.
The squad is rich in attacking talent, featuring players such as Vinicius Jr, Raphinha, and Gabriel Martinelli. Goalkeepers include Alisson Becker from Liverpool and Ederson from Manchester City.
Other notable players selected are Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, and Matheus Cunha. The squad aims to secure Brazil's first major trophy since their last World Cup victory.
