Brazil forward Neymar has been included in head coach Carlo Ancelotti‘s 26-man squad for this summer’s World Cup
The 34-year-old, who now plays for Brazilian side Santos, is the country’s all-time leading goalscorer with 79 goals in 128 appearances but has not played for the Selecao since 2023 amid his struggles with injuries.
Making the squad means he will feature at a fourth World Cup having also played for Brazil at the 2014, 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
Italian Ancelotti revealed his squad at a ceremony in Rio de Janeiro and fans cheered when Neymar’s name was announced.
Ancelotti, 66, who was appointed by Brazil last year, said: “We spent the entire year analysing Neymar.
“We realised that in this last period he had continuity and was in good physical condition”.
