Neymar Jr. is stepping into the world of padel with the launch of Ecossistema Neymar Jr., a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment complex in Porto Belo, Santa Catarina. Spanning over 14,000 square meters, the project is designed to blend sport, lifestyle, and technology in one immersive destination.
The complex will include padel and beach tennis courts, a high-performance training center, a soccer field, restaurants, retail outlets, and a premium experience area called NJ Experience. Developed in partnership with his father Neymar Sr., NR Sports, and JTA, the initiative reflects Neymar’s ambition to shape the future of sport in Brazil.
A space for athletes and fans alike
The NJ Experience will offer visitors a journey through Neymar’s career, while the training center will provide elite facilities for aspiring athletes. The project aims to inspire a new generation of sports talent while offering fans a deeper connection to Neymar’s legacy.
“The Ecossistema Neymar Jr. will have an international structure to prepare future athletes,” said representatives from the development team.
A boost for Porto Belo and Brazilian sport
With an estimated investment of R$250 million, the complex is expected to stimulate the local economy and attract tourism. The integration of luxury, sport, and entertainment positions Porto Belo as a rising destination for both athletes and visitors.
“Porto Belo is set to become the new epicenter of luxury, sport, and lifestyle in Brazil,” reported ND Mais.
Looking ahead to 2026
Construction is underway, with completion expected between late 2026 and early 2027. Once finished, Ecossistema Neymar Jr. will stand as one of the most ambitious athlete-led projects in South America, marking a new chapter in Neymar’s career as a sports entrepreneur.
