Overview
- Carlo Ancelotti unveiled the list Monday in Rio, restoring Neymar to Brazil’s squad for his first call under the coach after a serious left knee injury in October 2023.
- Ancelotti said Neymar will play only if he earns it in training, stressing a focus on the team over any single star.
- Several choices were outside Ancelotti’s earlier tests, with goalkeeper Weverton among the surprise inclusions alongside Neymar.
- Brazil gathers May 27 at Granja Comary, plays Panama on May 31 at the Maracanã and Egypt on June 6 in Cleveland, then opens Group C against Morocco on June 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
- Neymar’s inclusion drew loud celebrations at the Museu do Amanhã and triggered sponsor posts on Instagram that reports said generated about R$30 million within an hour.
