Brazil forward, Neymar Jr., has announced his retirement from international football.
It brings his 16-year stint with the Selecao to an end.
Neymar took the decision after featuring for Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“My time with the national team is over,” Neymar said.
“I made history, I was very happy, I gave my blood, my life. I always fought for the yellow jersey, but now I don’t want to anymore,” Neymar told reporters.
