Rio De Janeiro, Aug 19 (Ians) Neymar has been recalled to Brazil’s national squad for the team’s opening 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru, the Brazilian football confederation said.
The 31-year-old, who left Paris Saint-Germain this week to join Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, has not represented his country since last year’s World Cup in Qatar because of an ankle injury, reports Xinhua.
“He (Neymar) deserves the chance to write the most beautiful chapter in his career, which I think has not yet been written,” Brazil manager Fernando Diniz told a news conference.
As expected, Neymar will be joined in attack by Real Madrid duo Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior, as well as Tottenham’s Richarlison, Manchester United’s Antony and Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli.
Brazil will meet Bolivia in Belem on September 8 and Peru in Lima four days later.

Rio De Janeiro, June 7 (Ians) The Brazilian Football Confederation (Cbf) has not given up on its pursuit of Carlo Ancelotti for the national team’s vacant head coaching role, the entity’s president said.
The comments came despite Ancelotti’s declaration last month that he intends to see out the remaining 12 months of his Real Madrid contract, reorts Xinhua.
“It didn’t come as a surprise that he said that,” Cbf chief Ednaldo Rodrigues told reporters.
“We know there is a contractual situation and that we have to be careful not to do something that could upset [Real Madrid] or vice versa. We have our Plan A, which is Ancelotti, and we haven’t thrown in the towel yet.”
Brazil’s head coaching position became vacant in December when Adenor Bacchi, better known as Tite, stepped down following the team’s World Cup quarterfinal defeat to Croatia.
