The Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr. held its sixth charity auction in São Paulo on 3 August 2026, raising R$ 21 million for social programs and R$ 4 million for Santos FC. High-value items included a weekend stay at Neymar’s Mangaratiba mansion, which sold for approximately R$ 600,000, and a Pelé-themed jewelry piece. Neymar Jr. attended the event, describing the institute as the “greatest goal” of his career, though he departed early to travel to Belém for a match against Remo.

The event featured several notable family interactions. Neymar’s father, Neymar Pai, dismissed retirement rumors, stating his son will continue playing as long as he wishes. A viral exchange occurred between Neymar Pai and Neymar’s 14-year-old son, Davi Lucca; the elder advised the teenager to build his own career regardless of family fame, to which Davi Lucca responded that he admires his grandfather and strives to be like him. Davi Lucca later clarified to reporters that while he admires his father, he does not intend to pursue a professional football career, preferring to support the institute instead.

Following the auction, Neymar Jr. engaged with a viral video of a four-year-old Palmeiras supporter who requested a Santos FC ball due to his admiration for the player, responding, “Always for them, thanks for the affection.”

On 24 August 2026, Davi Lucca celebrated his 15th birthday. The milestone drew public tributes from Neymar Jr., who expressed pride in his son, as well as from family associates and a former nanny.
