Surprise.. The Brazilian federation forced Ancelotti to invite Neymar

The coach of the Brazilian team, Carlo Ancelotti, surprised everyone by inviting Neymar to the Samba team for the finals of the 2026 World Cup.

The Brazilian national team is in the third group of the World Cup, next to Morocco, Haiti and Scotland.

The Touchline account on website X, citing the Futebol no Rio account, which deals with football news in Rio de Janeiro, stated that Ancelotti is under intense pressure to call up Neymar.

According to the source, Ancelotti intended not to include the “Santos” star in the “Samba” list of the World Championship until last Thursday.

However, during the negotiations on the extension of the contract with Ancelotti, the officials of the Brazilian federation convinced the Italian coach to include Neymar in the list.

Sources said the reasons were to avoid public anger, in addition to heavy pressure from sponsorship and advertising partners.
