This market will resolve to "Yes" if Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior takes the field as a player in at least one official match for Brazil during the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the group stage or later. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any on-field appearance as a player will qualify, in regulation, stoppage time, extra time, for a shootout, etc. The primary resolution source for this market will be information from FIFA (https://www.fifa.com/), however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Trader consensus leans heavily toward Neymar missing Brazil's 2026 FIFA World Cup squad at 62.5% "No" probability, driven by his persistent injury woes and coach Carlo Ancelotti's recent decisions. The Seleção star, now 34 and back at Santos since January 2025 after Al-Hilal struggles, suffered fresh muscle fatigue in early March 2026, missing key Brazilian Championship matches and withdrawing from Ancelotti's preliminary call-up for friendlies against France and Croatia—ultimately omitted entirely. Despite December 2025 meniscus surgery and occasional club appearances showing reduced sharpness and fitness limitations, no consistent international recall has materialized amid Brazil's secured CONMEBOL spot, fueling skepticism over his readiness for the tournament's demands.
