The football superstar supported the Brazilian president for re-election at the weekend
Brazilian football icon Neymar has divided opinion in his homeland after backing President Jair Bolsonaro for re-election.
Recent polling has suggested that Bolsonaro could be ousted at the end of his four-year term, with main rival and ex-President Luiz Inacio ‘Lula’ da Silva boasting a 13-percentage-point lead ahead of Sunday’s first round of voting.
On Thursday, Bolsonaro received a much-needed endorsement from one of the football-mad country’s most famous exports when Neymar appeared in a TikTok video dancing along to Bolsonaro’s re-election campaign song.
“Vote, vote, and press ‘confirm’ for 22, that’s Bolsonaro,” says the song. In the video, Neymar is seen miming its words and also holding up two fingers on each hand.
Sharing footage of a clip which features other Brazilians of all ages giving their backing to the president, Bolsonaro thanked Neymar on Twitter.
