He inherited his name from his father, who is a former footballer and became his son's advisor as Neymar's talents began to grow.[7] Neymar comments on his father's role "My father has been by my side since I was little. He takes care of things, my finances and my family."[8] Growing up, Neymar combined his love of futsal with street football.[9]
In 1992, Neymar moved with his family to São Vicente, where he began playing for youth side Portuguesa Santista.[10] Then, in 2003, they moved to Santos, where Neymar joined Santos FC.[11]With the success of his youth career and added income, the family bought their first property, a house next to the Vila Belmiro.

At 17, he signed a full professional contract, getting upgraded to the Santos first team and even receiving sponsorships.
