During the recent World Cup, Kolkata transformed into a lively display with murals of Neymar and Vini Junior adorning the city streets, particularly in north Kolkata. Although organisers in Bangladesh, Singapore, and Qatar also showed interest, negotiations have only advanced with India. The proposed match occurs following Brazil’s elimination by Norway in the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, under head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
