In 1916, the idea of establishing a football league in the [[Sultanate of Egypt]] was proposed. The league would include Egyptian teams and teams from the allies' military clubs, including the British. The competition was named after [[Sultan of Egypt|Sultan]] [[Hussein Kamel of Egypt|Hussein Kamel]].
Neymar came into prominence at [[Santos FC|Santos]], where he made his professional debut aged 17. He helped the club win two successive [[Campeonato Paulista]] championships, a [[Copa do Brasil]], and the [[2011 Copa Libertadores]]; the latter being Santos' first since 1963. Neymar was twice named the [[South American Footballer of the Year]], in [[2011 South American Footballer of the Year|2011]] and [[2012 South American Footballer of the Year|2012]], and soon relocated to Europe to join [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]]. As part of Barcelona's attacking trio with [[Lionel Messi]] and [[Luis Suárez]], he won the [[Treble (association football)|continental treble]] of [[La Liga]], the [[Copa del Rey]], and the [[UEFA Champions League]], and finished third for the [[FIFA Ballon d'Or]] in [[2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or|2015]] for his performances. He then attained a [[Double (association football)|domestic double]] in the [[2015–16 FC Barcelona season|2015–16 season]]. In 2017, Neymar transferred to [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] in a move worth €222&nbsp;million, making him [[List of most expensive association football transfers|the most expensive player ever]].{{refn|group=note|Although Barcelona did not classify Neymar's €222&nbsp;million buyout clause as a transfer fee, it was functionally identical to a transfer fee, since it cancelled his then-current contract with Barcelona (as in a typical transfer).

His participation in the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]] and [[2015 Copa América]] was cut short by injury and a suspension, respectively, before captaining Brazil to their first Olympic gold medal in [[Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|men's football]] at the [[2016 Summer Olympics]].
