Al-Hilal unites with Neymar Jr. in a quest for Brazilian glory

In Brazil, recognition for a soccer player doesn’t come any larger than the Samba Gold Award. The Samba d’Or is an accolade that is awarded annually to Brazil’s finest soccer player. Established by Sambafoot in 2008, this prestigious honor measures a player’s worth not just through their statistics but also their influence, role, and the results they deliver at their respective clubs. Recently, Al-Hilal initiated a heartfelt campaign and took to Instagram to share a story with a message: “Vote for Brazil’s all-time top scorer @neymarjr at this year’s ‘Golden Samba Awards’.” Neymar Jr. reciprocated the gesture by re-sharing Al-Hilal’s plea on his Instagram channel.

Interestingly, Neymar Jr.’s reign in the Samba Gold category is nothing short of astonishing. The enigmatic forward has clinched the award a record six times: in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Neymar will be eyeing the award for a record fourth consecutive time. This displays his testament to his consistent excellence.
