Neymar donned a traditional Saudi uniform comprising a "thobe" (traditional robe), "shemagh" (headscarf), and "aqal" (headband) while performing the dance.
Al Hilal's Malcom, Aleksandar Mitrović, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Moroccan Yassine Bouno also participated in the Saudi Ardha dance.
This is seen as a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Saudi people as well as the blending of cultures.
Neymar was not alone in his cultural immersion; Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and others were also seen wearing Saudi bisht.
