Neymar is pushing himself further away from the Brazilian national team.

Neymar is unlikely to participate in the 2026 World Cup.

Neymar is facing a difficult prospect in his journey back to the Brazilian national team, as his recent actions have not received the support of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

According to sources, the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) received the striker's statement negatively. Internally, the organization believes Neymar is trying to leverage his media influence and fan support to create a confrontational situation, a kind of "we against them," between himself and coach Carlo Ancelotti.

This behavior is considered inappropriate in the context of the Brazilian national team striving for stability under a new coach. Instead of easing the pressure, Neymar's statements have made the situation even more sensitive.

Furthermore, Neymar's absence from the match between Santos and Mirassol also raised concerns. Although the player cited reasons related to managing his workload, the CBF still questioned his decision to handle the situation.

According to the Football Federation, Neymar could absolutely travel with the team to Mirassol, even if he doesn't play. This is even more noteworthy given that coach Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly in the stands to watch the match.

Neymar's absence from that context has somewhat tarnished his image. For a player who once played a central role in the Brazilian national team, such details are no longer simply a personal matter, but could impact the coaching staff's assessment.

With the World Cup fast approaching, signals from the CBF suggest that Neymar's position is no longer as secure as before. If he doesn't improve his relationship with the coaching staff and the Football Federation, the risk of missing the biggest tournament on the planet is entirely possible.

Neymar's future with the Brazilian national team is therefore more unpredictable than ever.
