Last update: 11 hours agoNeymar’s World Cup comeback: Brazil named Neymar to its 26-man squad, ending a long injury-hit absence and sparking instant emotion from the Santos star after Carlo Ancelotti’s call. Selection controversy: The big shock is who didn’t make it—Chelsea striker João Pedro was left out, with Ancelotti saying the final decision came down to fitness, consistent play, and experience, not sentiment. Ancelotti’s message: Neymar won the spot after being judged to have improved his physical condition and could still be ready by Brazil’s opener. Fan culture, too: The squad news lands as Brazil’s World Cup build-up keeps spilling into lifestyle and community—watch parties, ticket chatter, and samba-style celebrations—while the wider sports world keeps an eye on how Brazil’s “jogo bonito” era tries to deliver redemption in 2026.
