Neymar posted photos from the match where FURIA took on Dendele FC.
In front of their president, FURIA delivered an impressive performance, securing a dominant 2-6 victory. This win pushed Neymar’s team up to 2nd place in the league standings, just behind the leader on goal difference.
The Brazilian Kings League features 10 teams and is the first of its kind in Brazil. It’s part of the media football franchise founded by former Barcelona star Gerard Piqué and Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos.
Currently, Neymar is sidelined as he recovers from an injury that kept him out of the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. His absence contributed to a disappointing 4-1 loss to Argentina.
