Neymar steps away from Brazil duty following World Cup loss
Brazilian striker Neymar has announced his retirement from international play following Brazil's 1-2 loss to Norway during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match at New York New Jersey Stadium. Reflecting on his career, Neymar stated, "I tried, I tried...Now it's over! I started here, I finished here." It is worth noting that Neymar's first appearance for the national team took place at this very same venue back in 2010.
