New Delhi: Joga Bonito Mumbai will represent India in the third edition of World Final of Neymar Jr's Five — a five-a-side football tournament — which will be graced by the Brazilian star.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward will lace up his boots once again for the tournament in his hometown of Praia Grande on July 20-21.

Neymar returned from a foot surgery and a three-month injury layoff to score two goals and help Brazil to the last eight in the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The 26-year-old will

now welcome the best five-a-side teams from across the world.

Over 125,000 players

signed up for a qualifier in this year's competition as elite five-a-side players battled it out in 62 countries across six continents. Some of the urban

locations where players have shown their skills this year in qualifiers and national finals

of the tournament include Baku, Lima, Paris, Miami and Singapore.
