Neymar INCLUDED; Carlo Ancelotti reveals Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad

Neymar has been included in Brazil's 26-man squad for the World Cup by Carlo Ancelotti.

One of Brazil's greatest ever players, the 34-year-old has featured for his country in three different World Cups, guiding his team to a semi-final in 2014 before a back injury he picked up against Colombia put a premature end to his tournament.

Now coming to the end of his career, Neymar returned to his boyhood club Santos in 2025 where, after a difficult start, he has regained some of his old spark, contributing to 10 goals and assists in 15 appearances so far this season.

The five-time winners of the competition have been drawn alongside Morocco, Haiti and Scotland in Group C.

Prior to the beginning of their campaign, Ancelotti will lead his men in a pair of warm-up matches against Panama and Egypt.

Although they secured their spot at the World Cup with relative ease, Seleção failed to top their CONMEBOL qualification group for the first time since 2002. In fact, Brazil finished fifth behind Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador and Argentina, replacing coach Dorival Junior with Ancelotti after a tough start to their campaign.
