Can Neymar make it to Brazil squad for FIFA World Cup 2026?

Neymar rejoined Santos, where ​he began his professional career from 2009-13, in 2025. He ⁠is best known for his time with world powerhouses Barcelona (2013-17) and ‌Paris Saint-Germain (2017-23), playing alongside current MLS superstar Lionel Messi with both clubs.

An ankle injury slowed Neymar before his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, leading to a stint with Al-Hilal ‌in Saudi Arabia, where his brief tenure ​was halted by a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

A fixture on ⁠the Brazilian national team starting in ⁠2013, Neymar hasn’t played for his country since 2023. He ‌has stated publicly his desire to be on Brazil’s FIFA World ​Cup team this summer in North America.

“He’s a great talent, and it’s normal that people think he can help us win the next World Cup,” Ancelotti said in an interview with French newspaper L’Equipe.

“He’s currently being evaluated by the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) , by me, and he still ‌has two months to show that he has the qualities ​to play in the next World Cup.

Brazil is in ‌Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti and Scotland in the World Cup and will begin its campaign ​on June 13 at New Jersey Stadium.
