The tournament is based on the belief that footballers never earn their skills in big stadiums at big clubs. Their journey almost always begins on the streets, with their friends, like it did for Neymar Jr. In the streets, their main obstacles are not the opposing defenders but the hard gravel, sweltering heat and the blinding dust. Neymar Jr’s journey started with a street and a dream, and continues with a stadium and a fairy-tale.
The signature football tournament saw more than 1,00,000 people taking part across 40 countries and six continents in the Red Bull Neymar Jr’s Five 2019, with the hope of making it all the way from the qualifiers to the World Final in July at the Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr in Praia Grande, Brazil.
