Neymar to Wear Iconic Number 10 for Brazil at World Cup
Brazilian star Neymar has been confirmed to wear the famous number 10 jersey as the host nation prepares for the 2014 World Cup. The Barcelona forward’s wish was fulfilled when the Brazilian Football Federation assigned squad numbers for the tournament.
The number 10 shirt, historically worn by legends like Pelé and Zico, is one of the most coveted in Brazilian football and carries a legacy of creativity and leadership. Neymar, seen as the team’s talisman, will proudly carry this responsibility on home soil.
Former Lyon striker Fred will don the number 9 jersey, another significant number for Brazil, symbolizing the classic goal scorer role.
Other notable Paris Saint-Germain players in the squad include defenders Thiago Silva, David Luiz, and Maxwell, who will wear numbers 3, 4, and 14 respectively.
As Brazil gears up to host football’s biggest stage, all eyes will be on Neymar to lead the Seleção in pursuit of glory.
