Neymar Jr. will represent Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking the fourth World Cup selection of his career following previous appearances in 2014, 2018 and 2022. The latest episode of his YouTube series captures the emotional hours leading up to the announcement, following Neymar Jr. from Santos FC’s match against Coritiba through to the moment Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Brazil’s final squad. “I’m not an anxious person, but today I already started thinking about it,” Neymar Jr. says in the episode. “Whatever happens, if I’m there I’ll be very happy.” When his selection is confirmed, the cameras capture the reaction in real time. “It’s hard not to get emotional. With everything we’ve been through, everything they’ve watched me go through, getting here and being able to compete in another World Cup is incredible. These are tears of pure happiness.” With 79 goals for Brazil, Neymar Jr. remains the country’s all-time leading scorer and now prepares for another appearance on football’s biggest stage.
