Neymar has reiterated that his time with the Brazil national team is “over” following a disappointing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.
The winger had hoped to win his first World Cup title, but his journey was halted by Norway in the round of 16.
He has since returned to club duties with Santos, playing two matches since Brazil’s elimination from the World Cup.

Despite failing to win the World Cup, the Santos man became only the second Brazil player after Pele to score at four different World Cups (2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026).
