Barcelona and the Brazilian Federation cut a deal a few months ago that allowed Neymar to participate in only one of the national team tournaments this summer. After missing the Copa América, the Barça superstar is back with the Seleção.
Neymar has been called up by U-23 coach Rogério Micale to be in the squad for the football tournament in the 2016 Olympic Games, which starts on August 4th in Brasília, when Brazil takes on South Africa. Brazil also faces Iraq and Denmark in the group stage.
The Brazil captain is able to play in the Olympics thanks to a rule that allowa three players over the age of 23 to be named in the squad.
