Neymar and Father Differ on Future of Brazil Career Post-2026 World Cup
Neymar’s father recently commented on his son’s decision to retire from the Brazil national team after the 2026 World Cup.
He expressed the possibility that Neymar might return to the five-time world champions’ squad, saying, “I can’t guarantee that he has 100 percent finished playing for the Brazil national team. Maybe he will come back.”
Neymar responded to this with a laugh, remarking, “It’s not my father playing!”
Regarding his future plans, Neymar stated, “I’m not thinking about retiring. I have a contract with Santos until December, and I want to give everything for the club. After that, I will consider my options. Whether to stay, leave, retire, or continue playing… I don’t know yet! There is still time until December. We’ll see.”
