Neymar is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward. Since scoring on his debut for the Brazil national team against the United States on 10 August 2010,[1] Neymar has gone on to record 79 goals in 128 international appearances,[2] making him Brazil's all-time top scorer. He surpassed second-placed Ronaldo's total of 62 goals with a hat-trick in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Peru on 14 October 2020,[3] and claimed the top spot from Pelé after recording his 78th and 79th goals in a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Paraguay on 8 September 2023.[4] Neymar is also currently the sixth-highest active top scorer in men's international football.[5]

Neymar lining up for Brazil's friendly match against Austria in 2018. He has scored 79 goals in 128 caps for Brazil.

Neymar has scored four international hat-tricks, and netted twice in a match (known as a brace) on nine occasions, with his first hat-trick coming in an 8–0 friendly win over China on 10 September 2012.[6] He has scored nine times against Japan, making them the side he has gotten the most goals against;[7][8] this total includes the four he scored during a single match in October 2015, which made Neymar the youngest player to score four goals in a game for Brazil, at the age of 22.[9]

Neymar has scored the majority of his goals in friendlies, with them making up 46 of his overall tally. He has scored five times at the Copa América and 28 times in FIFA competitions, which include the FIFA World Cup finals, FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the FIFA Confederations Cup.[10]

Neymar's first senior international tournament was the 2011 Copa América,[11] where he scored two goals for Brazil.[12] He played in his first senior FIFA tournament two years later, when he starred for hosts Brazil in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.[13] Neymar scored four goals throughout the campaign, including in the final against Spain, helping Brazil to a 3–0 victory.[14] Neymar received the Bronze Shoe for his four goals,[15] and was awarded with the Golden Ball for his standout performances throughout the tournament.[16] Neymar played at his first FIFA World Cup in 2014, where he scored four goals, placing himself as the joint-third top scorer of the competition alongside his club teammate Lionel Messi and Dutch forward Robin van Persie.[17] He also scored twice during both the 2018 and 2022 World Cup.[18]
