[Saba Sports News] Recently, EA officially confirmed that due to the failure to secure licensing for the Brazilian league, Neymar Junior will not appear in EAFC26. Additionally, various gaming communities have reported that Neymar will be absent from EAFC26, marking the first time in 15 years that he will not feature in the series. EA Sports officially confirmed that due to the failure to reach an agreement with the Brazilian league on licensing this year, they will be unable to use the names, likenesses, and other details of many famous players, including Neymar. According to insider information, negotiations between EA Sports and the Brazilian league are still ongoing, and it is highly likely that an agreement will be reached before the next version of the game, EAFC27. The 33-year-old Neymar currently plays for Santos in the Brazilian league and is the all-time top scorer for the Brazilian national team. At the age of 21, Neymar left Santos for €88 million to join Barcelona in La Liga. During his four years with the club, he played 186 games, scoring 105 goals and providing 76 assists. Neymar had the potential to create more legendary stories at Barcelona, but in the summer of 2017, Paris Saint-Germain spent €222 million to sign him.
