Brazilian footballer Neymar has turned out to be just as dedicated a gamer as he is a professional athlete. A screenshot of his Steam account, published by the Brazilian Flow Games podcast, shows more than 11,300 hours in Counter-Strike.
That is roughly 470 days of continuous play.
So how much time has Neymar spent playing football?
Looking at his official club matches for Santos, Barcelona, PSG, and Al-Hilal, the total comes to around 52,268 minutes — approximately 871 hours or 36 days. According to BeSoccer, that includes 277 matches for Santos, 186 for Barcelona, 173 for PSG, and 7 for Al-Hilal.
Neymar played another 10,630 minutes for the Brazil national team, although this figure includes friendly matches. Excluding them leaves approximately 5,079 minutes of official international matches.
Therefore, across his career in official club matches and official games for the national team, Neymar has spent roughly 57,300 minutes on the pitch — around 956 hours.
Counter-Strike — more than 11,300 hours
Official football — around 956 hours
That means Neymar has spent almost 12 times more time playing Counter-Strike than on the football pitch in official matches.
As a reminder, Clutchain left players without tens of thousands of euros: what happened to ScreaM and Nivera's project.
