34-Year-Old Neymar’s World Cup Dream in Jeopardy? Ancelotti Locks in 18-Man List Without Him

Brazilian ESPN reported that Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has essentially finalized 18 of the 26 players for the World Cup, believing these selections are secure.
Notably, 34-year-old Neymar is absent from the list. Even more striking, the squad includes 8 forwards, making Neymar’s hopes of participating in this summer’s World Cup increasingly slim.
Yesterday, Neymar scored twice for Paris Saint-Germain against Vasco da Gama in the Brazilian Serie A and publicly appealed to Ancelotti for a fourth World Cup appearance. However, with only around 100 days before the tournament, time is running out for him to convince the coach to change his plan.
Neymar, Brazil’s former star, has appeared in three World Cups (2014, 2018, 2022) but was unable to win the title in any. At 34, his dream of lifting the trophy may remain unfulfilled.
Brazil’s 18 players confirmed for the World Cup
- Forwards: Rodrigo, João Pedro, Vinícius, Luis Enrique, Raphinha, Éverton, Martinelli, Cunha
- Midfielders: Casemiro, André Santos, Bruno Guimarães, Paquetá
- Fullbacks: Alex Sandro, Douglas Santos
- Center-backs: Marquinhos, Militão, Gabriel
- Goalkeeper: Alisson
