But that’s not all. The champion team will be guests of Neymar Jr in Barcelona and will get to watch a match involving Barcelona at Camp Nou.
“A hint that I would give to everybody is to enjoy themselves playing in this tournament. Everybody wants to win, wants to be the champion, but it’s only one team that will win it! The team should enjoy that unique moment of playing or even watching those games, and believe in their dream. I believe that with a soccer ball and a goal, or even with a soccer ball and two pair of flip-flops you can be very happy,” said Neymar Jr.
Neymar Jr’s Five is the world’s first and only Neymar Jr’s signature football tournament going into its premiere in 2016.
The Qatar qualifiers are organized in collaboration with Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr, The Pearl, Vodafone Qatar, United Development Co. and Shop & Ship.
