2026 World Cup: Shirt number Neymar will wear for Brazil after Ancelotti decision

Neymar will once again don the No.10 shirt for Brazil at the 2026 World Cup.

The South American side has officially released squad numbers ahead of the tournament.

Brazil’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has decided to keep Neymar in the squad despite recent injury concerns.

In addition to being selected, the Santos forward will wear the iconic No.10 jersey.

Although Neymar is not yet fully fit and could miss Brazil’s opening match because of a calf issue, he remains in the squad.

His inclusion and the assignment of the No.10 jersey follow months of speculation about his status under the current coaching regime.

The 34‑year‑old hopes to help Brazil pursue a sixth World Cup title.
