Neymar announced his retirement from the Brazilian National Team (Timnas) on Monday, July 6, 2026, early in the morning WIB, after the Samba Team lost 1-2 to Norway in the 2026 World Cup 16th round.
"I've tried. I've tried. It all started here, at the MetLife stadium. I'm ending it here. It's over now," Neymar told reporters after the match.
He sat on the ground crying after the final whistle blew in New Jersey before being comforted by his team-mates.
The 34-year-old scored Brazil's only goal from the penalty spot in the 10th minute of injury time, but it was not enough to prevent elimination as Norway reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time.
Neymar retired as Brazil's all-time top scorer with 80 international goals in 130 appearances. He made his senior international debut in 2010 after starting his professional career with Santos FC in 2009 and winning an Olympic gold medal with Brazil in 2016.
