Early Saturday, the Brazilian icon Neymar received a historic welcome at the "Vila Belmiro" stadium, as thousands of Santos fans gathered to celebrate the return of their icon.
The fans showed a massive banner reading "The Prince Has Returned."
Neymar returned to his childhood and boyhood club after his contract with Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal was terminated.
Around 20,000 Santos fans came to Belmiro Stadium in the rain to witness Neymar’s emotional return.
Now look at Neymar’s head, he’s wearing a headband that boldly says, “100% JESUS”.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

The player aims to regain his form ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is expected to be his last with the Brazilian national team.
On Friday, the Brazilian club announced the return of their star on a free transfer.
Neymar played 225 matches for Santos' first team between 2009 and 2013 before moving to Barcelona, then Paris Saint-Germain, and later Al-Hilal.
He scored 136 goals with the Brazilian club and won several titles, including the Copa Libertadores (2011), Recopa Sudamericana (2012), Copa do Brasil (2010), and the Campeonato Paulista (2010, 2011, and 2012).
