Neymar Denies Plans To Host New Year’s Eve Party For 150 People Amid COVID-19 Restrictions

It had been reported the 28-year-old was hoping to host a long party at his mansion in Brazil to ring in 2021

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has denied reports he is set to host a New Year’s Eve party for approximately 150 people in Brazil.

It had been claimed that the 28-year-old was putting together a celebration at his mansion in Mangaratiba that will last five days, despite the Covid-19 pandemic which has claimed over 190,000 lives in Brazil.

However, a statement released by his lawyers says he has nothing to do with the party, which is being organized by company Agencia Fabrica.

“It’s a Fabrica event. It has no connection with Neymar,” read the statement. “He will be with his family, with his son and his physiotherapist [on New Year’s Eve]”.
On Monday, Agencia Fabrica insisted the event will adhere to strict health and safety measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

A statement from the party organizers read: “Agencia Fabrica clarifies that it is the creator and producer of New Year’s Eve event in the Costa Verde region, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, which will receive approximately 150 people.

“The event will take place in compliance with all health standards determined by public agencies. The company also clarifies that the private event, with exclusive access for guests and without ticket sales, happens with all licenses from the competent bodies necessary for its realization.”
