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 on Polymarket heavily favors "No" at 68.5% implied probability for Neymar appearing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, driven by Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti's repeated exclusions from recent national team squads amid ongoing fitness concerns. The 34-year-old Santos forward, sidelined since his 2023 ACL tear and hampered by recurring injuries including a recent hamstring issue, showed limited sharpness in an 80-minute outing last week but lacks the full physical condition Ancelotti demands for his "quite defined" roster prioritizing youth and reliability. A fresh disciplinary blow—potential 12-match ban for referee comments after accumulating yellows—further jeopardizes his match fitness and selection push just weeks before the tournament opener.
