Neymar continues to stir controversy after his post-World Cup disappointment

Brazil’s Neymar da Silva has sparked controversy once again by returning to the 2026 World Cup after playing for the Seleção.

The Brazilian team left the 2026 World Cup early, specifically in the round of 16 after losing to Norway (2-1).

A few days after his early retirement, Neymar surprised everyone by appearing in Las Vegas to participate in a poker tournament..

The Brazil captain’s presence at the event sparked widespread reactions on social media, with some seeing it as a stark contrast to the disappointment that followed Brazil’s exit from the tournament.

It happened again, but this time he took advantage of not going to Venezuela with his “Santos” to meet the Central University team in the first round of the qualifying round of the South American Championship, when the technical staff calmed him down and attended the fourth round of the Brazilian poker tournament accompanied by friends, reports the Brazilian network “Globo”.
