Neymar Confirms Departure from Brazil National Team: "I Don't Want to Anymore"
Neymar Jr. has officially announced his retirement from the Brazilian national team. This decision follows a statement he made after Brazil's elimination in the Round of 16 of the World Cup against Norway, where he declared, "I started here and I finish here." This remark was a reference to the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the venue where he made his national team debut in a friendly match against the United States in 2010.
To dispel any lingering doubts, Neymar reaffirmed his commitment to stepping away from the World Cup stage when questioned after his club Santos secured a 4-2 victory over Universidad Central. "My adventure with the national team is over," Neymar stated when asked about his future following Santos' win. "I made history, I was extremely happy, I gave my all, and I always gave everything for the yellow jersey, but now, I don't want to anymore."
Neymar's penalty goal in the tenth minute of second-half stoppage time against Norway marked a significant milestone, making him only the second Brazilian player, after Pelé, to score in four different World Cups (2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026). However, Brazil has not won the World Cup since 2002. Furthermore, their most recent Copa América title in 2019 was achieved in Neymar's absence due to injury.
