Neymar made his long-awaited return to the Brazilian national football team on Sunday, playing for the first time in 981 days. The forward rejoined the Seleção in a friendly match against Scotland, which Brazil won decisively with a score of 3-0. This marks Neymar’s first appearance for Brazil since September 2021. The return was particularly emotional for Neymar, who was visibly moved to tears during the national anthem. His comeback provides a significant boost to the team as they prepare for upcoming competitions. The match served as a warm-up for Brazil ahead of their participation in the Copa América tournament.
