My Time with Brazil Is over - Neymar Confirms Retirement
- On Wednesday, Neymar confirmed his retirement from Brazil after 16 years representing the national team. The 34-year-old forward steps away with a record 80 goals across 130 appearances.
- The decision followed Brazil's 2-1 defeat to Norway in the FIFA World Cup round of 16 on July 5 at MetLife Stadium. Neymar came off the bench to score a penalty in stoppage time.
- Neymar became only the second Brazilian player after Pelé to score in four different FIFA World Cups. He found the net in the 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026 tournaments.
- With his national team career closed, Neymar focuses on club football with Santos. His current contract expires in December, leaving his future beyond this season uncertain.
- Declaring he "gave my blood, my life" for Brazil, Neymar closed the door on any potential return. His final international appearance remains that late stoppage-time penalty against Norway.
