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.

Paris, April 9 (Ians) Goals from Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos powered Paris Saint-Germain to a 2-0 victory at Nice to snap their two-match losing streak in French Ligue 1.
The win on late Saturday night also put the 10-time league champions back to six points in front of Lens in the standings, to some degree temporarily easing the pressure on every member in the team, especially head coach Christophe Galtier and superstar Messi.
“It was a difficult match. We knew we had a lot of pressure on our shoulders both because of our poor performances and because of Lens winning, and especially because Nice are a really good team who have been on a great run,” said Galtier, who led Nice to a fifth-place finish last season before taking the rein of the Parisians.

Rio de Janeiro, March 19 (Ians) Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos and Tottenham forward Richarlison will miss Brazil’s friendly against Morocco next week due to injury, the South American country’s football confederation said.
Marquinhos was ruled out with an abdominal strain while Richarlison suffered a suspected right leg injury, a Xinhua report said on Sunday.
Interim Brazil head coach Ramon Menezes has not yet named replacements for the pair, according to a confederation statement.
The fixture will be played at the Ibn Batouta Stadium in the Moroccan port city of Tangier on March 25.
The last time Morocco and Brazil met in an official match was in 1998 when Brazil prevailed 2-0 in Belen. The teams also crossed paths in the group stage of the 1998 World Cup in France, a match Brazil won 3-0.

Instead, Neymar’s team crashed out of the football showpiece event after going down 4-2 to 2018 runners-up Croatia in the penalty shootout.
At the Education City Stadium on Friday the teams were locked goalless at the end of the normal period of play and both teams found the back of the nets in the 30 minutes of extra time. Brazil scored first with Neymar scoring a gem of a goal in the 105th minute only to find Croatia fighting it back to draw level in the 117th minute through Bruno Petkovic and take the 120 minutes to clash into a penalty shootout.
Dominik Livakovic in goal for Croatia was once again brilliant. He will likely be a contender for the best goalkeeper of the World Cup award.

Beijing, Sep 24 (Ians) Winger Richarlison scored twice in 12 minutes as Brazil breezed past Ghana 3-0 while another South American powerhouse Argentina also grabbed a 3-0 victory over Honduras in pre-World Cup international friendlies on Friday.
Brazil opened the scoring by Marquinhos’s bullet header in the ninth minute from a corner by Raphinha. Richarlison extended the advantage just before the half-hour mark with a pin-point strike from the edge of the penalty area into the bottom left corner.
Assisted by Neymar, the Tottenham Hotspur forward added the third for the team on the stroke of halftime with a clever first-time header from a freekick to seal a comfortable 3-0 victory, reports Xinhua.
Since losing the final of the Copa America last year, the five-time world champions have been accumulating a 14-game unbeaten streak — 11 wins and three draws, with 33 goals for and just four goals against.
