Brazil has been one of the best teams at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They won the opening two games to book a place in the Round of 16. Their superstar, Neymar Jr, has not been able to contribute to the wins, mainly because of his injury. However, it seems like he is having an impact on the World Cup in another way.

As a while ago, Neymar’s lookalike was spotted at one of Brazil’s games. He caused quite a commotion after all the fans around him were squeezing themselves into the group, asking him for selfies and autographs. Now, it seems like he’s back again.
What is fake Neymar’s real name?
“Neymar”, came down to a Puma store in Qatar recently. As we all know, the craze for the PSG superstar among fans is on another level. The managers had to shut down the store as a whole after the number of fans following the doppelganger into the outlet. This has left fans baffled. One tweeted, “Fake Neymar has no shame,” after the lookalike was caught wearing Adidas’ fake clothing named, “Obibos.”

Another mentioned that he was the “Biggest finesse of this World Cup.” Many have the question of who the Neymar lookalike is. The truth is that his real name is Sosia Doney. Just like the soccer icon he’s trying to look like, Sosia also hails from Brazil. This hasn’t been the first time that he has worn Neymar’s hat on the biggest stage. The interesting fact is that Sosia has been Neymar’s doppelganger for a few years now.

He even managed to land himself a role in front of the cameras, alongside the one and only Neymar a while ago. The clip shows Sosia trying a skill move with the soccer ball but is unable to do so. However, the Brazil winger comes in to show how it is done. It seems like Neymar isn’t unhappy about Sosia trying to impersonate him and is only finding it hilarious.
