SAO PAULO - 9 JAN - Neymar has confirmed that the 2026 World Cup will mark his final appearance in the tournament, expressing confidence in Brazil's ability to secure qualification. "This will be my last World Cup, my last shot, and I will do everything to play in it," the 32-year-old told CNN. While Brazil currently sits fifth in South American World Cup qualifying, Neymar remains optimistic, emphasizing his belief in the team and its emerging young talents. Despite struggling with injuries, he pledged to work hard to join the squad for the finals in North America.

The forward also hinted at the possibility of reuniting with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami. Speaking at an award ceremony in Dubai, Neymar described playing alongside them again as "incredible." While happy at Saudi club Al Hilal, he acknowledged football's unpredictability, noting that the U.S. transfer window was closed when he left Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar, who is set to appear in the expanded Club World Cup with Al Hilal in June, will be 34 when the World Cup kicks off in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
