LARGO, MD -- One of the greatest soccer players in the world will be playing right here in D.C. as Neymar and his Brazilian teammates take on El Salvador at FedEx Field next month.
The matchup will take place Sept. 11 at 8 p.m., and tickets start at around $56 on Stubhub as of Wednesday morning.
Neymar and Brazil fell to Belgium in the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup. Brazil has won five World Cup titles in their history, the last one in 2002.

El Salvador will certainly be the underdog in this matchup, ranked 72nd in FIFA World Rankings. The country has appeared in just two World Cups: 1970 and 1982.
Neymar last appeared at FedEx Field last summer in one of his last appearances in a Barcelona uniform before departing for his current club, Paris Saint-Germain. He scored the only goal as Barcelona defeated Manchester United in a friendly in front of more than 80,000 fans.
