Two things are certain: that Brazil (if they qualify) will have a terrible World Cup, probably not even making it past the group stage, and that Neymar will return to play in Brazil instead of staying in Saudi Arabia or another club in Europe. He no longer has a market in big teams, so his options are to go play in the United States or continue playing football in the Middle East. However, he has a great market in Brazil, and I believe he will return to Brazil and play for Flamengo.

Brazil is almost finished as long as international football is concerned. I don't think that they will manage to become the World Cup champions ever again. Perhaps Neymar was the last legendary player for Brazil and his career is almost over now. The main reason is that the local league in Brazil is of very low quality. So most of the Brazilian players migrate to other countries to play club football, and this has a negative impact on the team bonding when these players return to represent the national team.
The popularity of the Brazilian team and the interest that people had about them has started to decrease day by day. The reason for their decline in popularity is that they are no longer producing legendary players in their team and the players that are produced in their teams are not performing consistently. If I'm not mistaken Brazil has probably produced the most star players so far. But after Neymar, they may not have any legendary player in their team. And Neymar may not be able to play for this team for much longer as he is getting old and spending more time with injuries. Also, if the quality of the Brazilian local league you mentioned is very low, then it may not be possible to produce experienced and talented players from there.

On the other hand, regarding Neymar, I am sure the Al Hilal player will play in to the 2026 World Cup. It must be admitted that the challenge he faces is injury, I think playing in the Saudi Pro League does not make his place in the main Brazilian squad disappear. Neymar may consider returning to Europe after his contract expires with Al Hilal in June 2025.

In my opinion, it will be very difficult for Neymar to return to play for the national team. His physical conditioning seems to be far below the desired level, even at Al Hilal, which is a team in the Saudi Arabian league and does not meet the high level of demands that European teams demand in terms of physical conditioning. Neymar failed, so I think Neymar will not be playing in the Saudi league. Even if Al Hilal renews Neymar's contract, it will be so that Neymar continues to attract more attention to the club, but not because Neymar will play a lot. That is why I am convinced that we will not see Neymar playing for the Brazilian national team.
When he was younger he might have worked harder to prepare himself to play again when he was injured but he is slowly getting older so now if he gets a big injury it is difficult to come back from it quickly. Neymar has contributed well for the team in the past and he can continue to perform well but before he can contribute well he needs to be physically fit so that the management does not think too much about him. In Neymar's case, he will be out for an entire season with an injury and when he recovers, he will be injured again after two to one games. Neymar's career is nearing the end as he recovers from injuries. But as a neymar fan i would like neymar to play in brazilian jersey again and atleast win a world cup trophy.

Brazil will no longer be a team that is idolized in the World Cup if they qualify, no one will be able to generate players like they did in the glory days. Brazil is very lacking in European level class players and therefore can only rely on Neymar as a manager in the team. Impact Negatives have also been seen in Brazilian clubs at the moment.
I can say that the World Cup is a tough competition to face because of the lack of experienced players. As you said, the quality of the local league in Brazil is very low. Selecting players to represent the national team in international events is very difficult.

The fact that Neymar is an asset to the national team is not a subject of debate and he can as well build more confidence to the national team if he players as a left winger or an attacking midfielder. But the issue will remain his health and ability to play maximally. Considering how Brazil performance declined a bit last tournament, they need a very strong squad depth and a good substitute as well. I feel like Neymar will perform more as a substitute. He comes in at a time when the club needs some huge attack force on the opponent and also calms the nerves of the squad in the event they're not in their best of forms.
Yes the assets of Brazil national team and provide confidence to improve the quality of the game, but that was then not now.
For now Brazil has young stars like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Raphinha and many more even though their appearance is still very bad and lacks so much experience to the point where their mentality is not really mature in defending Brazil.
And if Neymar enters the Brazil national team at the 2026 World Cup, I also think that he will only be substitute, meaning that Neymar game will only be used for few times when needed.

Brazil is gradually starting to rise again, and I think they will eventually qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Brazil performance is still far from expectations, even though we know they have a very good and even squad depth. I think, if Brazil can get a better manager, they will be considered as a strong candidate to challenge for the trophy in the future. On the other hand, regarding Neymar, I am sure the Al Hilal player will play in to the 2026 World Cup. It must be admitted that the challenge he faces is injury, I think playing in the Saudi Pro League does not make his place in the main Brazilian squad disappear.

Qualification of FIFA World Cup is not problem for them Brazil is still one of the charismatic teams which have huge fan base around the world due to their impressive skills and natural talent, but their main problem is their player's depth which are not working in big games, and they are fail to bring positive results.

Too many big names still are performing in world's best soccer leagues and many elite clubs in Europe as well which is surely due to their superior quality and best performance, but Brazil as team is now failed to bring results which were their trademark few decades back. Peoples still looking for amazing dribbling and best passes through their players which make soccer one of the best game on planet Neymar is surely one of the best but sadly due to many injuries and his off the field activities giving him not honour as we have for many other legendary Brazilian players.

Well.. let's not sweep everything under the carpet. Qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup would have been difficult for Brazil, had the number of participants remained at 32 (similar to the case with Qatar 2022). Everyone is complaining that adding more teams will result in dilution of the quality of the games, but in reality it is teams such as Brazil and Sweden are the ones who are benefitting. Don't forget the fact that at the moment, Brazil is ranked no.5 in the points table for CONMEBOL qualifiers.

Brazil is not doing very well in the World Cup qualifiers and at times it looks like Brazil will not be able to play in the 2026 World Cup? However, despite their poor performance in the qualifiers, I still believe Brazil will qualify for the main stage of the World Cup. If this former five-time World Cup winning team is not in the World Cup, then there will be no World Cup frenzy. There are many fans of Brazil and Argentina around the world, so if Brazil is not in the World Cup, it will have a bad effect on FIFA from the economic point of view. The question now is whether Neymar will be able to play in the first team there if Brazil qualify for the World Cup. I have made the point that Neymar's presence in the team depends on his physical fitness. If he is injured until the squad is announced then he will not be able to play in the main phase of the World Cup but if he is fit and performs well in the months before the squad is announced then the selectors will definitely give him preference.
Brazil was not doing well in the world cup qualifiers at the inset but they improved slightly. In five games they won two, drew two and lost one making them to be in fifth position with eighteen points. No country is indispensable in the world cup because other teams will make the competition entertaining. Neymar still looks fit to continue playing football but his main problem is recurrent injuries. If he can be injury-free during the World Cup and the coach finds him worthy, he might play his last World Cup in 2026.

The question is whether the Brazil coach will actually include him in the squad if Brazil qualified to the world cup or not because i mean Neymar spend his time on 2024 with long term injured and until today there is no statement that Neymar will play again soon because in my opinion the coach most likely will prioritise the players who have a good performance and stable with their clubs rather than call Neymar to playing with Brazil besides that i am not sure after comeback Neymar's will be reach his top perform again

But I also heard Inter Miami is interested in Neymar right now and will like to strike a transfer deal with Al-Hilal club. I am really sorry for Al-Hilal that they signed Neymar with such amount of money without enjoying him play for the team with the long time injury the player is currently facing.

I know that the possibility of Neymar featuring on the 2026 FIFA World Cup will determined by his status before then, whether he's fit enough to play for the National team, the player can himself decides not to feature even when he's fit. He's a star player and the national team will still love to see him play in the game.

Will only be reserve player and if he plays maybe it won't last longer, Neymar could enter the main squad but there will be many doubts from quite lot of people because related to his health it is very unlikely for Neymar to be able to play very well full time.
Moreover there are some responses from football fans about Neymar who should retire earlier, as player he always has injury problems, not many teams are interested in him.

The fact that Neymar is an asset to the national team is not a subject of debate and he can as well build more confidence to the national team if he players as a left winger or an attacking midfielder. But the issue will remain his health and ability to play maximally. Considering how Brazil performance declined a bit last tournament, they need a very strong squad depth and a good substitute as well. I feel like Neymar will perform more as a substitute.

Brazil did not play well in the World Cup qualifying matches, But in those matches they had all the best players in their team, still they could not show their strong performance in those matches. It's absolutely true that Brazil was a very strong team in the past, But looking at the qualifier matches, it never seemed like they would be able to qualify for the World Cup. This team has probably won the most World Cups, yet it has been very difficult for them to qualify for the upcoming World Cup. If Brazil fails to qualify for this World Cup, then the popularity of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be greatly reduced.

It's not the important point whether Neymar can play in the first team there, the most important point is whether Neymar will recover. Every Brazil fan wants Neymar to play for their team, but he was unable to play many matches due to injury. We have seen that he is yet to play most of the matches for his club due to injuries and he has not been able to contribute significantly for that club.

The World Cup is still a long way off and Neymar has been sidelined for a long season with injury, but he is back from injury and scored a goal for Al Hilal a few days ago. If Neymar is fit to play then he will definitely be named in the World Cup squad and Neymar will be the manager's first choice. Brazil team may have good quality players but these players only play well in the club but they can never perform well for the national team. Neymar is a great player and if Neymar is in the Brazil team and if he gets a chance to play directly in the 26 World Cup then he will definitely contribute well to the team and also inspire all the other players in the team. I want to see Neymar again in 2026 World Cup and I want Neymar to win at least one World Cup in his career.

Neymar is becoming more like a liability. For a major part of the year, he is down with injury. And when he recovers, he disturbs the already established equilibrium and face issues in blending in with the team. BTW, Brazil is not doing that great in the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifiers. They are at the 5th spot, and the 6th ranked Paraguay is only one point behind them. The good news for Brazil is that this time the slots for CONMEBOL has been increased to 6.5, from 4.5 they had in 2022.

The amount of support for Neymar will be a big burden for him to be able to perform well in the next World Cup. We have also seen Neymar's contribution to his new team in the Arab League. In almost all matches, only 20% of the time, Neymar showed no performance and did not give his best Al Hilal.
The chance is not too big to enter Brazil in the World Cup qualifiers, their performance can still be matched by other teams so they can still exchange positions with Paraguay. I think Neymar still has a long way to go with the Brazilian national team to win the Cup. In the world this season, Neymar is like a player who has just joined due to the injury he is facing.

If Neymar is available for the 2026 World Cup, it would be wise to call him up for the squad, regardless of who the Brazil manager is. At the very least, Neymar would be a rotation option, as everyone knows what he can offer when fit. Neymar is unlikely to retire anytime soon, although his future at Al Hilal is currently the subject of speculation. Despite Neymar frequent injuries, there are certainly plenty of elite clubs who would still be interested in signing him if he were to leave Saudi Arabia.
Reality is that every time Neymar recovers from injury and returns to play it also doesn't last long, this is what I mean actually, he gets injured more often and spends more time on recovery and if Brazil includes Neymar in the main squad then it is clear that he will be targeted by several players from other teams because Neymar often provokes opposing players.
Note well that in the 2026 World Cup later if Neymar plays then it will not be until the end of the competition, he will have injury problems again and I strongly believe that, for his own future I not so interested now because the Neymar of now is very different from when he was very young.

Its not a new for me to see Neymar saying that, he is nearby to retired because of his injury, so another 4 years more to other world cup seems impossible to reach for him (6 yeaars from now).

And he is a player who play with his speed and body reaction, so i cant see him maintaining high levels without being injured for 6 years more.

I still think that there are three main candidates, but I can't possibly know which one will win. Of course some team outside of these three could win too, but my guess would be France, England, Argentina. These are my candidates, Brazil usually gets a spot there too but recently we have seen how Brazil has played so I feel like they may not be great there, so it may not work out like intended.

However, that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a bad result, we need to make sure that we are dealing with other teams too, things could change, anyone could win. I am %100 sure that no team from Asia will win, not from North America and not from Africa neither. That usually doesn't happen at all. It will be a team from either Europa or Latin America, that's always the case.
England has just changing their manager from Southgate to Tuchel so we still don't know yet their performance later under new manager but this is the first time experience for Tuchel to train National team so the condition would be different compared to train club because National team usually only play for some of special events and most of the players also cannot met everyday

France probably will be more solid rather than England this because Didier Deschamps has build this team since 2012 and France achievement under Deschamps is very impressive because they can reach to the final matches of major competitions 4 times and one of France best achievement with him is World Cup 2018 and do not forget too France is the finalist of world cup 2022 so they deserved to called as strong candidate for World cup 2026

For Asian teams and African teams seems the teams from these continents still hard to compete with South America teams and Europa teams but no wonder because in the term of quality Asian and African teams is below to Eropa teams but i still want to see the teams such as Japan or South Korea can advances at least to quarterfinal or  semifinal
