Neymar Coloring Pages
Free Neymar coloring pages – 40+ pages featuring Brazil’s all-time leading scorer in action poses, skill dribbles, goal celebrations, jersey close-ups, and portraits across his Santos, Barcelona, PSG, and Al-Hilal career – free printable PDF and online coloring for football fans of all ages.
Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior was born on February 5, 1992, in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo state, Brazil. He began his professional career at Santos FC in 2009 at age seventeen and within three seasons had become the most talked-about young player in South American football – the comparison most frequently invoked was not to any contemporary but to Pelé, which carried the full weight of what that comparison means in Brazil. He moved to FC Barcelona in 2013, won the UEFA Champions League in 2015 alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, and in 2017 transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for €222 million – a transfer fee that exceeded, by a considerable margin, the previous world record, and that remains the largest in football history.
In November 2022, during a World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, Neymar scored his 77th international goal for Brazil – surpassing Pelé’s long-standing record of 77 goals to become Brazil’s all-time leading scorer. He has since extended that record to 79 goals. The record’s significance is not merely statistical: Pelé is the defining figure of Brazilian football history, and the player who passes his record carries the full weight of that comparison, whether they want it or not.

What’s Inside
Action and Skill Pages
The collection’s largest section captures what Neymar is most famous for – the technical execution that has made him one of the most distinctive dribblers in the sport’s history. His signature moves include the elastico (a rapid inside-outside touch that changes direction faster than a defender can track), step-overs in sequences that build into acceleration, and the specific quality of his close control under pressure that allows him to maintain possession in situations where most players would lose the ball.
The action pages show him in mid-dribble – one foot on the ball, body positioned low and balanced, the other foot already moving toward the next direction change. These pages capture the specific physical language of his play: the wide stance, the low center of gravity, the quickness of the touches that keep the ball within reach while moving faster than it appears possible.
Coloring action pages: The ball is the page’s center of energy – it should be rendered first, in the white and black panels of a standard match ball, to establish the focal point. Neymar’s body in motion tends to have weight on one side – the standing foot – while the other creates the fake or direction change. This asymmetry is the key to making the motion read correctly on a colored page.
Jersey and Portrait Pages
Neymar Jersey, Neymar Cute, Neymar Free, and the various portrait pages give his likeness in different levels of detail and different visual registers – from the careful portrait that rewards slow, precise coloring to the simpler, more graphic pages accessible for younger fans.
The jersey pages are particularly varied because Neymar has worn several historically significant kits. The Brazil national team jersey – yellow with green trim, number 10 – is the most iconic. The Barcelona blue and red (2013-2017) represent his Champions League period. The PSG blue with red and white accents (2017-2023) represents his most recent European chapter. Each jersey has specific color requirements and specific graphic elements that make it immediately recognizable.
Neymar’s distinctive appearance: His hair has been one of the most discussed aesthetic choices in contemporary football – he has worn it mohawk-style, bleached blonde, elaborately textured, and in many other configurations that have made him a presence in fashion and youth culture beyond the sport. The pages that show him in portrait or half-figure give colorists the opportunity to engage with this aspect of his visual identity. There is no single “correct” hair color for Neymar – use whichever reflects his appearance at the moment that matters most to you.
Celebration Pages
Goal celebrations are the moment when a footballer’s personality becomes fully visible – the instant after scoring when the performance context falls away and something personal emerges. Neymar’s celebrations have been among the most discussed in modern football: elaborate, expressive, and specific enough that individual celebrations have been associated with specific goals.
The celebration pages capture him in this register – arms extended, expression open, the body expressing something that the controlled, tactical discipline of play normally contains. These pages are the collection’s most emotionally expressive and work best when the colorist matches the energy of the celebration with vivid, confident color choices rather than careful, restrained ones.
Brazil National Team Pages
The pages showing Neymar in the Brazil national team kit carry the specific visual identity of the Seleção – the yellow jersey with green accents, the blue shorts, the five-star crest representing Brazil’s five World Cup titles. Brazil has won more World Cups than any other nation: 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002.
Neymar has appeared in three World Cups – 2014 (on home soil in Brazil, where he was injured in the quarterfinals against Colombia), 2018 (eliminated in the quarterfinals by Belgium), and 2022 (eliminated in the quarterfinals by Croatia on penalties). The World Cup victory that has eluded him throughout his career remains the defining unfinished element of his legacy as a player.
Coloring the Brazil kit: The yellow is a specific, warm, slightly orange-shifted yellow – not a cool school-bus yellow but the golden-yellow of Brazilian football tradition. The green trim and collar should be a vivid, fully saturated green. The blue shorts contrast with both, providing the coolest element in an otherwise warm palette.
Club Career Pages
The pages representing Neymar’s club career span four chapters:
Santos FC (2009-2013): The white shirt with black vertical stripe, where he first demonstrated what he was capable of. His Santos period included two Copa Libertadores finals and established him as the most promising young player in South America.
FC Barcelona (2013-2017): The blue and red of Barça, where he won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League. His partnership with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez – the MSN front line – was statistically the most productive attacking trio in a single Champions League season, scoring 122 goals combined in 2014-15.
Paris Saint-Germain (2017-2023): The dark blue of PSG with red trim, where he arrived as the world’s most expensive player and won five Ligue 1 titles while attempting, without success, to reach the Champions League final.
Al-Hilal (2023-present): The blue of the Saudi Pro League’s dominant club, where he signed in August 2023. A serious ACL injury in October 2023 limited his appearances, but his presence in the Saudi league is part of the broader movement of top-level players to that competition.
What These Pages Do
Neymar’s career is a documented history of football in the 2010s and 2020s. Coloring the Santos pages, then the Barcelona pages, then the PSG pages in sequence traces a specific arc of the sport’s recent history – the record transfer fee that changed how clubs and agents thought about player valuations, the Champions League campaigns, the World Cup attempts. Each kit change marks a historical moment as much as a career decision.
The skill move pages teach movement through stillness. A coloring page is a frozen moment – but the best action pages capture a body position that implies what came before and what comes next. Neymar’s pages, which tend to show him in mid-dribble or mid-celebration, are particularly good at this. Looking at the page carefully enough to color it well is also looking at it carefully enough to understand something about how the movement works.
Fine motor development through jersey detail. The number, the sponsor logo, the sleeve stripe, and the collar – football jerseys have specific graphic elements that require careful, small-scale work. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor development as a key childhood milestone throughout early childhood. The motivated, sustained practice that a young football fan brings to getting their favorite player’s jersey right is exactly what that development requires.
The 2005 Art Therapy Journal study applies. Structured coloring reduces anxiety. The specific quality of rendering a recognizable figure – working toward something that looks like the person you’re trying to represent – produces the focused, absorbed attention the research identifies as most effective.
How to Color These Pages Well
The Brazilian yellow is warm, not cool. This is the most common mistake on national team pages. The Seleção yellow has orange warmth to it – it is closer to gold than to lemon. Test on scrap paper: if the yellow reads as cool or greenish, it is wrong. The correct yellow should feel warm and vivid, consistent with a color chosen to be seen in bright sunlight against green grass.
His skin tone is warm medium-brown. Neymar’s complexion is a warm, medium brown – not the very dark brown of some Brazilian players, not a light olive, but a specific warm medium tone. Layering a warm tan base with a deeper warm brown in shadow areas produces the most accurate result. Avoid cool greys in shadow – his skin tone’s warmth should be maintained throughout.
Club kit colors require reference. Barcelona’s specific shade of blue is not a generic navy – it is a vivid, royal blue with red. PSG’s blue is a darker, more navy shade. Al-Hilal’s blue is similar to PSG’s. Before selecting any color for a club kit page, reference the actual kit color rather than estimating from memory. The difference between “Barcelona blue” and “generic dark blue” is immediately visible in a finished page.
Hair is the most personal element. Because Neymar’s hairstyle changes frequently and has been a deliberate part of his public identity, the hair on any portrait page is the element most open to the colorist’s interpretation. Whatever period of his career you most associate with him – the bleached blonde Santos years, the darker mohawk of his PSG period, the natural color of recent years – use that. The page is yours.
Celebration pages want energy. The physical posture of celebration – arms wide, body open, expression released from the controlled focus of play – is an energetic image that rewards energetic coloring. Apply colors with confidence and full saturation. A carefully restrained celebration page reads as contradictory to the image it contains.
5 Creative Craft Ideas
Career Timeline Display
Print one page representing each major club chapter: Santos (white with black stripe), Barcelona (blue and red), PSG (dark blue), Al-Hilal (blue), and one Brazil national team page. Color each in the accurate kit colors.
Mount all five in chronological order on a long horizontal strip of poster board. Label each with the club name, the years Neymar played there, and one achievement from each period. The finished timeline is a career biography in coloring pages – each kit change marking a chapter in one of the sport’s more traveled careers.
Record-Breaking Moment Card
Print the most dynamic Brazil national team page. Color it carefully – the correct warm yellow, the green trim, the number 10. On the back of the finished page or on a separate card mounted beside it, write: “November 17, 2022. Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior scored his 77th international goal against Bolivia to become Brazil’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing Pelé’s record of 77.”
The combination of the carefully colored image and the specific documented fact creates a piece of football historical record in handmade form – more personal than a printed card, more accurate than memory.
MSN Trio Display
This craft requires pages from multiple collections on this site. Print the Neymar page alongside the Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez pages from their respective collections. Color all three in Barcelona’s blue and red.
Mount the three figures side by side on a dark blue backing sheet – Messi on the left (his preferred position), Suárez in the center, Neymar on the right. Add a title across the top: “MSN – 2014-15: 122 Goals.” The finished display commemorates arguably the most productive attacking trio in Champions League history.
Kit Design Challenge
Use the jersey-focused pages as a starting point for a design exercise. Print three copies of the jersey page. Color the first in an accurate historical kit. Color the second in a kit you design entirely yourself – any colors, any graphic elements you add by hand. Color the third in a kit you believe Brazil should wear that doesn’t exist.
Compare the three. The exercise moves from reproduction (copying an existing design accurately) through modification (changing elements of an existing design) to invention (creating something entirely new). Each stage requires different thinking about color and design.
Goal Celebration Sequence
If the collection includes multiple pages showing Neymar in different celebratory positions, print all of them. Color each in the same kit – Brazil yellow – so they read as a unified sequence. Arrange them on a backing sheet in a left-to-right sequence that tells the story of a goal: the strike, the run, the celebration’s beginning, the celebration’s peak.
The finished sequence is a narrative told through coloring pages – the same figure in the same kit across multiple poses, each building on the previous.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Neymar and where is he from? Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior – universally known as Neymar Jr. or simply Neymar – is a Brazilian professional footballer born on February 5, 1992, in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo state, Brazil. He is widely regarded as one of the most technically gifted players of his generation, known particularly for his dribbling ability, skill moves, and goal-scoring from wide forward positions. He currently plays for Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, having previously played for Santos FC, FC Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Is Neymar Brazil’s all-time top scorer? Yes. Neymar became Brazil’s all-time leading scorer on November 17, 2022, when he scored his 77th international goal against Bolivia in a World Cup qualifier, surpassing Pelé’s long-standing record of 77 goals. He has since extended that record to 79 goals. The significance of surpassing Pelé – the most celebrated player in Brazilian football history and widely considered one of the greatest players of all time – makes the record one of the most significant individual achievements in the sport’s recent history.
What was the world record transfer fee for Neymar? Neymar’s transfer from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in August 2017 cost PSG €222 million – the highest transfer fee in football history. The previous record, also set in 2017, was the €105 million Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba. Neymar’s fee effectively doubled the previous record and significantly changed discussions about player valuations across the sport. The record has not been surpassed as of the date of this publication.
What clubs has Neymar played for? Neymar’s professional career has included four clubs: Santos FC (2009-2013), where he established his reputation in South American football; FC Barcelona (2013-2017), where he won the UEFA Champions League and La Liga; Paris Saint-Germain (2017-2023), where he became the world’s most expensive player; and Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia (2023-present), where he signed in August 2023. He suffered a serious ACL injury in October 2023 that significantly limited his appearances in his first season with the club.
What is Neymar’s most famous skill move? Neymar is most associated with the elastico – a rapid inside-outside touch with the foot that changes the ball’s direction faster than a defender can track – and with extended step-over sequences that build into acceleration or direction changes. He is also known for close-control dribbling at pace and for the specific quality of his touch under pressure that allows him to maintain possession in congested areas. His style is characterized by expressiveness and improvisation rather than the mechanical repetition of a single skill.
What number does Neymar wear? Neymar wears the number 10 for the Brazilian national team – the number most associated with Brazil’s creative playmakers historically, worn by Pelé and Ronaldinho before him. At club level, he wore 11 at Barcelona, 10 at Santos, and later at PSG, and has continued wearing 10 at Al-Hilal. The number 10 shirt in football carries specific cultural weight – it traditionally designates the team’s most creative attacking player – and its association with Brazil’s greatest players makes Neymar’s wearing of it particularly significant.
How many World Cups has Neymar played in? Neymar has appeared in three FIFA World Cups: 2014 in Brazil (where he was injured against Colombia in the quarterfinals and missed the semifinal in which Brazil lost 7-1 to Germany), 2018 in Russia (eliminated in the quarterfinals by Belgium), and 2022 in Qatar (eliminated in the quarterfinals by Croatia on penalties). He has not won the World Cup – the tournament’s absence from his record is the defining incomplete element of his legacy as a player.

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior was born in Mogi das Cruzes in 1992 and grew up in São Vicente, a coastal city in São Paulo state, in circumstances that were not comfortable. His father was also a footballer – not at the highest level, but enough to understand what the game required and to invest in his son’s development from the earliest age. By the time Neymar was seventeen and playing for Santos, the comparison to Pelé was already being made.
He broke Pelé’s record. He became the most expensive player in history. He won the Champions League. He played in three World Cups without winning one. He has been one of the most discussed, most watched, and most polarizing footballers of his era – not because of controversy but because the quality of his playing is the kind that generates strong opinions about what football should be.
The pages in this collection are the visual record of that career. The yellow of Brazil. The blue and red of Barcelona. The dark blue of PSG. The skill move. The celebration.
