Bruna Biancardi accompanied the player in São Paulo to start the process of Italian citizenship for the couple’s two minor daughters, while Neymar continues with only a Brazilian passport.

Neymar and Bruna Biancardi were recently at the Italian Consulate General in São Paulo to address a family procedure that gained strong repercussion on social media.

The couple began the process of Italian citizenship for the two minor daughters, as confirmed by the consulate itself to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, on Friday, May 15, 2026.

The request follows the current Italian legislation for acquiring nationality “by benefit of law”, applied to children of Italian citizens.

Process involves only the couple’s daughters

The repercussion of the case led part of the public to believe that Neymar was seeking Italian citizenship for himself.

The information, however, was misinterpreted on social media.

The procedure was opened exclusively in the name of the two girls, who are still minors.

The possibility exists because Bruna Fonseca Biancardi Ribeiro holds dual Italo-Brazilian nationality.

According to Italian law, children of an Italian mother or father may have the right to citizenship by benefit of law, regardless of the country where they were born.

Neymar continues with only a Brazilian passport

Neymar continues with a Brazilian passport.

The visit to the consulate, therefore, does not change his nationality nor indicate any personal request for Italian citizenship.

The player is currently at Santos, after a stint at Al-Hilal, in Saudi Arabia.

Neymar’s name also returned to the center of sports attention after the call-up made by coach Carlo Ancelotti for the World Cup, scheduled to start on June 11, in the United States.

Rumor gained strength after visit to the consulate

Neymar’s presence at the Italian consulate ended up generating mistaken interpretations.

The central information remains clear: Italian citizenship is being regularized for Neymar and Bruna Biancardi’s daughters, not for the player.

The episode shows how a family procedure gained international reach by involving one of the most well-known names in Brazilian football.

The visit to the consulate was only about the girls’ documentation, but it raised a question that stirred the networks: why do rumors involving Neymar gain so much strength so quickly?
