Neymar got into an argument with Remo fans after the Brazilian Cup match
Santos forward Neymar found himself at the center of a scandal following a Brazilian Cup round of 16 match. After the final whistle, the Brazilian soccer player got into a verbal altercation with Remo fans and team officials, and the conflict nearly escalated into a fight.
The incident occurred after Santos defeated Remo 1–0.
Since the first leg ended in a scoreless draw, this result allowed Neymar’s team to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
According to local media reports, the dispute broke out in the tunnel area after the game ended. Fans and home team staff were drawn into the conflict, and the situation nearly escalated into a physical confrontation.
Details of the incident have not yet been disclosed.
Neymar returned to Santos in 2025, and his contract with the Brazilian club runs through the end of this year.
The soccer player remains the all-time leading scorer in the history of the Brazilian national team, having scored 80 goals in 130 matches for the national team.
