Barcelona star Neymar will play only the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and will not participate in the Copa America. The news was confirmed in communication between the Catalan club and the Brazilian Football Confederation.
"We thank the Brazilian Football Confederation and its president Marco Polo del Nero, who accepted our request about Neymar to take part at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, which will be held between 3 and 21 August. Neymar will take part in the Copa America, which will be held in the United States from 3 to 26 June and will be able to rest, "said an official from Barcelona.
Thus Barcelona achieved his goal and Neymar will take part in only one of the two tournaments.
23 May (day after the final of the Copa del Rey between Barcelona and Seville) Neymar will be a holiday, but in early July will begin training with the team of Luis Enrique.
He will then join the Olympic team in Brazil, which means that 24-year-old will certainly miss a possible match for the Spanish Super Cup if Barcelona become champions in La Liga and won the Copa del Rey.
