Brazil have recalled Santos forward Neymar for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina after more than a year, the soccer federation announced on Thursday.

For the first time in nearly two years, Neymar is back in the Brazil squad. However, what impact could the 33-year-old superstar have on Dorival Júnior's team?

Neymar Junior has been named in the Brazil provisional squad for the March international break, after a year and a half out of the Brazil squad.

Santos forward Neymar has commented on his return to the Brazilian national team after a year-and-a-half hiatus. His previous match with Brazil took place on October 18, 2023.

Forward Neymar has been called up for the Brazil national team for the first time since 2023 as coach Dorival Junior named his squad on Tuesday for the South American 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Neymar hasn't played for the Seleção since October 2023 due to injuries.

Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, has weighed in on speculation surrounding Neymar‘s potential return to the club. The Brazilian forward, whose time at the Catalan giants was filled with success, is once again the subject of intense transfer rumours.
