Brazil has officially called up Neymar for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite concerns about his physical condition. The 34-year-old forward, who is Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals, has struggled since suffering a knee injury in October 2023. He has played only eight matches for Santos this year, scoring four goals. Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed confidence in Neymar's recovery and highlighted his experience as valuable for the team. Brazil will begin preparations on May 27 and will play a friendly against Panama on May 31 before heading to the U.S. for the tournament, where they will face Morocco first on June 13.
