Neymar has been officially included by Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti in the squad list for the 2026 World Cup. Neymar has been officially named in Brazil‘s 2026 World Cup squad, earning one final opportunity to represent the Selecao on soccer’s grandest stage. On Monday, head coach Carlo Ancelotti made the announcement alongside the other 25 players set to travel to North America. Monday’s press conference was held to formally confirm the squad for both the upcoming friendly schedule and the World Cup itself. Neymar’s inclusion had been one of the most debated topics in Brazilian soccer for months, and when Ancelotti reached the forwards on his list, the announcement was met with significant attention both at home and abroad. Barring any last-minute injury, this is the group that will represent Brazil in North America. The Selecao open their pre-tournament schedule with friendlies against Panama on May 31 and Egypt on June 6 before the World Cup gets underway across Canada, Mexico and the United States. Throughout the selection process, Ancelotti had been consistent in stating that physical fitness would be the determining factor in any decision regarding Neymar, emphasizing trust in the forward’s talent while stressing the need for him to be ready for the demands of a World Cup. A run of decent form in recent weeks, combined with season-ending injuries to Rodrygo and Estevao, ultimately opened the door for Neymar to be included for a fourth World Cup, following his participation in 2014, 2018 and 2022. É A LISTA DO CORAÇÃO! É A LISTA DO BRASIL! 🇧🇷Não são apenas 26 nomes. São 26 corações que sonharam com esse momento. VAMOS EM BUSCA DA SEXTA ESTRELA! 🌟⭐🏆#BateNoPeito ISSO É BRASIL! pic.twitter.com/L1imBhgmkm— brasil (@CBF_Futebol) May 18, 2026 Neymar’s last appearance for Brazil came in October 2023, when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament against Uruguay, and persistent fitness issues have kept him away from the national team ever since. Nearly a year into his tenure, Ancelotti will now have the opportunity to work with Brazil’s all-time leading scorer, a player who surpassed the records of legends such as Pele, Ronaldo Nazario and Romario. Brazil’s complete 2026 World Cup squad Goalkeepers: Alisson Becker (Liverpool), Ederson Moraes (Fenerbahce), Weverton (Gremio).Defenders: Alex Sandro (Flamengo), Bremer (Juventus) Danilo Luiz (Flamengo), Douglas Santos (Zenit) Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal), Roger Ibañez (Al Ahli) Leo Pereira (Flamengo), Marquinhos (PSG), Wesley (AS Roma).Midfielders: Casemiro (Manchester United), Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United), Fabinho (Al Ittihad), Danilo (Botafogo), Lucas Paqueta (Flamengo).Forwards: Endrick (O. Lyon), Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid), Matheus Cunha (Manchester United), Neymar Junior (Santos), Raphinha (FC Barcelona), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Rayan (AFC Bournemouth), Igor Thiago (Brentford), Luiz Henrique (Zenit). Neymar and his dream of a 2026 World Cup farewell The decision to return to Santos in 2025 was always about one thing: getting fit and finding form in time to make a final push for a place in the World Cup squad. With only an Olympic gold medal from 2016 to show for his international career in terms of major honors, Neymar arrives at this tournament with an urgent motivation to finally win a World Cup with the Selecao. Asked recently about the tournament and the possibility of a final showdown with Lionel Messi, Neymar allowed himself to dream. “Of course (I think about the World Cup). Every Brazilian player thinks about that. I hope I can be there. Also, a final between Brazil and Argentina would be spectacular,” he said in the mixed zone after Santos’ Copa Sudamericana match against San Lorenzo in Argentina.

Throughout his tenure as head coach, Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to rely on Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva, instead opting for younger players. Nevertheless, he has reportedly decided to include both veterans in Brazil’s preliminary squad for the 2026 World Cup, opening doors for a comeback. Carlo Ancelotti‘s arrival has completely transformed Brazil, restoring them to their status as one of CONMEBOL’s top teams. Not only has he brought balance to the team, but he has also managed to rejuvenate the roster. As a result, Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva have been left out of the squad, going several games without being called up. However, the head coach has reportedly backtracked, including both players in Brazil’s preliminary 2026 World Cup squad. According to UOL Esporte, Ancelotti already has his preliminary list of 55 players finalized, including Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva, who have not played a prominent role since his arrival. With both shining at Santos and FC Porto, respectively, Carlo has decided to open the door to a possible return to the national team for the 2026 World Cup, due to their strong form and numerous injuries. Despite his inclusion in the preliminary list, neither of the two has a guaranteed place with Brazil. Thiago Silva has numerous players ahead of him, with Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, Bremer, and Léo Pereira standing out the most due to their prominence at their clubs and their experience under Carlo Ancelotti. In addition, the 41-year-old defender does not provide the versatility to play as a full-back that the head coach desires so much, raising serious doubts. Neymar Jr. also faces a very complex challenge, as he has plenty of competition to secure a spot. Endrick, Igor Thiago, and Rayan all seem to be gaining momentum with Brazil, as they are shining both at their clubs and under Carlo Ancelotti. Nevertheless, the vast experience of the 34-year-old star could prove decisive, as he is now excelling as a creative attacking midfielder, elevating his teammates—something that could be key to his return with Brazil. Neymar of Brazil is consoled by Thiago Silva. When was the last time Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva played for Brazil? Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva managed to shine as Brazil’s leaders over the last 10 years, serving as captains and central figures in the locker room. Nevertheless, both have stopped being key pieces for the national team. On one hand, the 34-year-old winger’s last appearance came on October 18, 2023, in the 2–0 defeat against Venezuela. On the other hand, the 41-year-old defender’s last appearance came on December 9, 2022, in the defeat against Croatia at the 2022 World Cup.
