Brazil have officially unveiled their squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, with football superstar Neymar Jr. making a sensational return to the national team setup. The tournament, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will mark Neymar’s fourth appearance on football’s biggest stage.
After months of injury concerns and intense speculation surrounding his fitness, Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Neymar’s inclusion in the final squad. The veteran forward recently stated that he feels “fully fit” and ready to help Brazil chase a historic sixth World Cup title.
Brazil enter the tournament as one of the favorites, led by a star-studded attacking lineup including Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Raphinha, and teenage sensation Endrick.
Neymar, Brazil’s all-time leading scorer, previously represented the Seleção at the 2014, 2018, and 2022 World Cups. His return is being seen by fans as one final mission to bring the trophy back to Brazil for the first time since 2002.
