How Tall Is Neymar ?

Neymar stands at 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in), and weighs 68 kg. That places him on the shorter end among elite forwards, but it has never been the defining factor in his game. He plays as an attacking midfielder or forward for Brazilian club Santos, which he captains, and the Brazil national team. 

His height has rarely come up as a limitation throughout a career built on close control, dribbling, and quick changes of direction rather than physical dominance in the air. Known for his dribbling, technical ability, playmaking, and finishing, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time — a reputation built almost entirely on skill rather than size.

How Old Is Neymar ?

Neymar was born on 5 February 1992, making him 34 years old as of June 2026. He was born in Mogi das Cruzes, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. 

At 34, he's well into the later stage of his career, but his story has had more chapters than most players experience in two lifetimes. His senior career path runs from Santos (2009–2013) to Barcelona (2013–2017), Paris Saint-Germain (2017–2023), Al Hilal (2023–2025), and back to Santos from 2025 onward. Few players return to their boyhood club in their mid-thirties as the headline name — Neymar did exactly that.

His contract with Santos currently runs until December 31, 2026, putting the focus squarely on whether his body holds up through the 2026 World Cup year. He has been sidelined recently with a calf injury, which began on May 18, 2026.

Height, Age, and Longevity

At 1.75 m and 34 years old, Neymar's career is a study in how far technical skill can carry a player who was never the tallest or most physically dominant on the pitch. He has earned 128 caps for Brazil, scoring 79 goals — numbers built on craft rather than physical advantage. 

His height and age combined tell a story most modern attackers don't get to write: a teenager who broke into Santos as a slight, skillful winger has become a 34-year-old club captain still being talked about for a World Cup squad. Whether his body cooperates for the full tournament remains the open question of his late career.
