Dani Alves and Neymar Jr will play together in the Brazil squad for the World Cup

Dani Alves and Neymar Jr. are the first FC Barcelona players to be officially called up for the World Cup in Brazil. Both are in the list of 23 players announced by Brazil National Coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari last Wednesday. Also called up are Barça players, Henrique and Maxwell.

It will be the first World Cup for Neymar Jr., one of the major stars of the Brazil national team. However, it will be Alves’ second World Cup. Alves, in fact, is one of the four players on the list who were also in the World Cup in South Africa. The others are the goalkeeper Julio Cesar, the other right back, Maicon, and the midfielder Ramires.

It’s worth remembering that Brazil, as host nation, will play the very first match, against Croatia, on June 12th. Brazil’s other games in the group stage will be against Mexico (June 17th) and Cameroon (June 23rd).
