Neymar’s Height

Football or soccer is one of those sports where you don’t really have to be a particular height to play. It’s more about speed, accuracy, agility, and a lot of tactical thinking, so it’s no surprise that most of the athletes that play the sport aren’t packing much in the height department. The star in question is no exception to this as he stands 5 feet 9 inches tall.

There’s been an ongoing debate about how tall the football player is and his mo-hawk has a lot to with the arguments. Some have argued that his hairdo adds quite the number of inches to his general height and that he looks quite small when he is out on the pitch regardless.

Despite it all, we can all say that he has made his height work for him. Here is a list of celebrities who share Neymar’s height. Jared Leto, Robert Redford, Zayn Malik, and Mark Zuckerberg all stand as tall as the star athlete.

Neymar’s Weight

Neymar now maintains a healthy weight of 68 kilograms, but that has not always been the case for the athlete. In 2013, a Barcelona doctor revealed that he had some concerns about the star athlete’s health, most especially in relation to his weight. At the time the star weighed 64 kilograms and as a result, was deemed too light for his trade.

According to the Independent, Neymar is not the first Barca player to be deemed too light. The club famously paid for their Argentina forward Lionel Messi, the four-times World Player of the Year, to have treatment to speed up his growth when he was a delicate teenager.

Fast forward to the present day, he has gained a bit of weight and is planning to gain more till he reaches his optimum weight. ‘ It’s not so I can boast, that doesn’t interest me,’ he said. ‘ It’s so I can be more efficient. What I want is to be the best on the pitch; it doesn’t matter if people see me as good-looking or not.’
