Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has included Neymar in his final 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

There was a big debate around Neymar’s inclusion before the tournament after he was left out of the squad for the March friendlies and had been struggling with injuries over the past year.

However, Ancelotti has now included the 34-year-old in his final selection, meaning Neymar will take part in his fourth global showpiece.

Brazil are the record champions of the tournament, with five titles (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002) but have not lifted a World Cup in 24 years.

The Selecao have been drawn in a group with Morocco, Haiti and Scotland and kick off their tournament against the Atlas Lions.
