Weeks after Brazil’s disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Neymar has officially closed the door on his international career. His comments officially confirmed what many had suspected since Brazil’s World Cup elimination against Norway: his time with the Seleção is over. Those words bring the curtain down on an international career that was filled with unforgettable moments, immense expectations, and historic achievements. A back fracture ended his 2014 World Cup dream before the semifinals, while recurring physical setbacks disrupted several key moments later in his career. He eventually returned for the 2026 FIFA World Cup under Carlo Ancelotti, hoping for one final shot at international glory.
