Neymar has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with the manufacturer Topps for trading cards, stickers, and card games. The company will produce collectibles featuring his autograph and match-worn relics such as jerseys, shorts, and boots.
Why it matters
Topps aims to expand its global collectibles business by leveraging Neymar's image alongside its existing rights for various national football federations and FIFA. This move continues a pattern of high-profile partnerships for the brand, which previously signed an exclusive deal with David Beckham.
Topps has secured trading card rights for England, Brazil, Germany, and Italy, along with rights for the 2031 FIFA World Cups. The upcoming 2025-26 Topps Dynasty and Definitive Collection sets will feature Neymar.
