Brazil announced its 26-player squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Monday, and soccer fans everywhere held their breath in anticipation, anxiously waiting to hear whether or not Brazilian legend Neymar Jr will have one last dance on soccer’s greatest stage.
Masses of people gathered outside of the Museu do Amanhã directly ahead of Ancelotti’s announcement, calling for Neymar’s inclusion and chanting, “Olé, Olé, Olé, Ola, Ney-mar! Ney-mar!” Others had signs that read in Portuguese, “Ancelotti, call up Neymar,” and “Neymar with one leg and one eye is better than all of the players on the Seleção.”
