Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti has announced his 26-man squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held across Mexico, Canada and the United States from June to July.
Veteran attacker Neymar is among the players headlining Brazil's World Cup squad with some players missing out.
The 34-year-old forward, who is Brazil's all-time leading goalscorer with 79 goals, has not played for his country since 2023 after struggling with injuries.
Neymar has played 15 times for Santos this season, scoring six goals, after making 28 appearances last term in a bid to play at what is likely to be his last World Cup.
Ancelotti named his charges for the tournament on Monday evening and loud cheers met Neymar's inclusion at the press conference.
Brentford striker Igor Thiago is also included after scoring 22 Premier League goals this season.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, Arsenal's Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli, Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, Man Utd's Casemiro and Matheus Cunha and Bournemouth's Rayan have also made the squad.
There is no place for Chelsea striker Joao Pedro or Tottenham's Richarlison.
