The debate over Brazil’s most iconic shirt number has been officially settled ahead of the 2026 World Cup. It has been confirmed that Neymar will retain the famous No. 10 jersey for the upcoming tournament in North America.
Following a lengthy period away from the national team due to injury, questions had naturally arisen regarding the future of the prestigious shirt. During Neymar's prolonged absence, the Brazilian No. 10 was shared among the squad's other attacking stars. Both Vinicius Junior and Raphinha have donned the historic number in recent international fixtures.
Despite their growing influence and status within the Seleção, both players have willingly stepped aside out of respect for the veteran forward. Highlighting the squad's unity on the matter, Vinicius Junior openly addressed the situation, stating clearly that the shirt "obviously belongs to Neymar."
Earlier rumors suggested that Neymar might adopt the No. 13 jersey.
Do you agree with the decision to keep Neymar in the No. 10 shirt, or was it time to pass it on to a younger player like Vinicius Junior? Let us know in the comments below.

Umbro has released the Nations collection, inspired by the 2026 World Cup. The designs are available for **Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Japan and Morocco**. Rather than official team replicas, the pieces feature authorial reinterpretations with custom color palettes, exclusive graphics, crests and typography developed specifically for the project.
Each jersey includes symbolic details tied to the respective nation's identity, balancing minimalist and bolder approaches. Umbro Brazil director Eduardo Dal Pogetto noted that the aim was to go beyond traditional sportswear and create pieces representing the energy and identity of various nations with a modern outlook for daily use.
The jerseys are available now on the official Umbro Brazil website and select retailers, priced at R$349.99.
