Not only that, but he is fanatical about poker. So much so, that he even named his dog poker!

Neymar and ♣ Poker

In May 2024, Neymar joined PokerStars as a brand ambassador. At the time, he was joined by another legend of ♣ Brazilian football Ronaldo as a member of Team Sportstars.

"Growing up and playing football everyday has made me a competitive person," ♣ Neymar Jr. said. "When I'm not playing football, playing poker and competing against my teammates on the road or in ♣ home games with friends is one of my favorite things to do."

Neymar has been heavily involved with PokerStars, hosting multiple ♣ charity home games, including one at EPT Barcelona won by Steve O'Dwyer.
