SAO PAULO, Brazil – Brazil’s star soccer player Neymar is at the center of a new controversy after several Brazilian media reported that he is hosting a huge New Year’s Eve party despite the coronavirus pandemic, a claim his lawyers denied. .
Acelmo Goes, columnist for the Or Balloon newspaper, wrote that the Paris Saint-Germain forward will host 500 people for a week-long party at his luxurious beachside mansion near Rio de Janeiro that started on Saturday and will last until New Year’s Day.
Neymar, who is no stranger to the controversies about his parties, allegedly even installed soundproofing equipment to try not to disturb his neighbors.
Leo Dias, a columnist for the Metropoles website who is known for his celebrity scoops, even named the artists who were supposed to perform at Neymar’s party, such as Ludmilla and Wesley Safadao.
Apparently, the mobile phones of the guests will be confiscated at the door to prevent any evidence from reaching social networks.
Brazil has suffered the second highest number of COVID-19 related deaths in the world with more than 191,000, while 7.4 million people have contracted the virus.
An agency specializing in events, Agencia Fabrica, issued a statement confirming that it had been hired for a New Year’s event in the Costa Verde region where Neymar’s village is located “which will host around 150 people … respecting all health standards determined by public bodies. “
But Neymar’s lawyers denied that a party was planned or that the Agencia Fabrica event was related to the soccer star.
“No! This is a Fabrica event. It is not related to Neymar,” they told AFP.
Neymar’s villa is located in Mangaratiba, a small town in an area of luxurious spas in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The local city council has asked its 41,000 residents not to hold end-of-year parties and has erected barriers to prevent people from congregating.
“We do not have any information about this party,” the city council said in a statement sent to AFP.
Neymar, who has not played since December 13 when he injured his ankle against Lyon, has not commented on the game and in recent days has published photos of his family on social networks without comment.
His Mangaratiba mansion is located on 10,000 square meters (107,600 square feet) of land that includes a helipad, sports courts, spa, sauna, massage room, gym, and dining areas.
It is where he previously spent his time recovering from injuries and also where he headed from March to June when the coronavirus was raging in France, causing the suspension of professional football.
