DJ Snake has weighed in on Neymar Jr.’s place in Brazil’s World Cup plans, making it clear where he stands as debate around the superstar’s selection continues.
The discussion has intensified as Brazil prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Neymar’s absence from recent matches raising fresh questions.
That is where the French DJ stepped in with a simple but pointed take.

DJ Snake backs Neymar Jr inclusion in Brazil World Cup squad
DJ Snake shared his view on Neymar’s importance to the national team.
“If you’re really a football fan, you wanna see Neymar at the World Cup… simple as that,” he tweeted on X.
The comment reflects a sentiment shared by many fans who see Neymar as central to Brazil’s identity on the global stage.
It also highlights how his absence is being felt beyond just tactical discussions.
Brazil struggles without Neymar in a 2-1 loss to France before World Cup
Brazil’s recent 2-1 defeat to France in an international friendly showed some of the challenges the team faces without Neymar in the lineup.
Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the 32nd minute before Hugo Ekitike added a second, putting Brazil under pressure early in the game.
Brazil improved after the break, with Bremer pulling one goal back in the 78th minute, but they were unable to find an equalizer despite late chances.
The match also exposed some inconsistencies, particularly in defense, while the attack lacked the same level of creativity typically associated with Neymar’s presence.
That contrast is what keeps the conversation alive, not just about whether Neymar should return, but how different Brazil will look without him on the pitch.
