Eigon Oliveira, who calls himself 'Ney's Lookalike,' was busy during his time in Qatar, where he attracted a lot of attention making appearances impersonating the Neymar.
Brazil's Neymar smiles during a training session at the Grand Hamad stadium in Doha, Qatar, Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022. Brazil will face South Korea in a World Cup round of 16 soccer match on Dec. 5. While one Neymar was about to make his return at the World Cup, another was going home after a short -- and tumultuous -- stint in Qatar.
It was hard to spot the difference between the lookalike and the real Neymar when Oliveira put on Brazil's training uniform and wore similar sunglasses, hat and beard as the Brazil star. There was also trouble when the lookalike made it to one of Brazil's World Cup games, as fans clamored to get autographs and a photo. Some of the Brazil players on the field before the match looked up to see what was going on. Security eventually escorted the lookalike away.
Being Neymar's double has become a job for Oliveira. He has traveled around the world imitating the player, including to France, where Neymar plays for Paris Saint-Germain. He makes money out of his appearances and by acting as the player's double in commercial shoots.

Sport Minister St-Onge refused to go to Qatar for FIFA World Cup to show solidarity with LGBTQ community and migrant workers, say Liberal sourcesSport Minister Pascale St-Onge, who made Canadian history as the first out lesbian cabinet minister when she was appointed in 2021, declined to go to Qatar recently for the FIFA World Cup as a show of solidarity with the LGBTQ community and because of allegations of human rights abuses against migrant workers in the host country of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. “I am proud of the Canada National soccer team qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Their qualification is a historic event,” said St-Onge (Brome-Missisquoi, Que.) in a written statement to The Hill Times. International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan (Vancouver South, B.C.) went in her place. “Our government was very concerned about reports of dangerous working conditions in building the World Cup stadium and infrastructure, especially those resulting in death. I am happy that my colleague, Minister Sajjan, while in Qatar had a constructive dialogue with their government on supporting LGBTQ and human rights. I commend the fact that he also acknowledges ILO’s [International Labour Organization] work to improve migrant workers’ conditions after the World Cup,” St-Onge said in her statement. The 2022 FIFA World Cup is currently taking place in Qatar from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18. The Canadian Soccer team qualified to play in the World Cup for the first time since 1986. To represent the Canadian government at the World Cup, the sport minister was the natural choice, but St-Onge informed the PMO weeks in advance that she would not go. Homosexuality is a criminal offence in Qatar, and organizations like Human Rights Watch say LGBTQ people are being arbitrarily arrested in that country. That organization says it has documented “six cases of severe and repeated beatings and five cases of sexual harassment in police custody between 2019 and 2022.” “Security forces arrested people in public places based solely on their gender expression and unlawfully searched their phones,” a Human Rights Watch report alleges. “As a requ
