Brazilian football superstar Neymar has suggested that the 2026 season could be his last, though his immediate goal is to compete in the FIFA World Cup with Brazil. Speaking to Caz TV, Neymar said retirement may come by the end of next year, but for now, he is committed to returning to peak condition and earning a spot in the national squad.
Since January 2025, recurring injuries have limited Neymar to 29 matches, with 11 goals and five assists, while keeping him off the field for nearly 200 days. Despite these setbacks, he remains Brazil’s all-time top scorer with 79 goals in 128 appearances.
Under new head coach Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil are integrating younger talents like Raphinha and Rodrygo, but Neymar could still feature if he demonstrates full fitness. Brazil will face Haiti, Scotland, and Morocco in Group C at the 2026 World Cup, and Neymar is determined to make a final impact on the international stage.
