Brazil manager Dunga has said that there is "no limit" to what Neymar can achieve in the future.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a fruitful season at Barcelona and he has become an indispensable member of the national side.
"I have chosen [Neymar] as captain to present him with yet another challenge," Dunga told France Football.
"He is a player that will still grow a lot. He has no limit to that growth and we have no way to measure how far he can actually go.
"He needs to keep working collectively, as do all the players. The team will be more efficient and will be at ease if he does that."
Neymar has scored 42 goals in 60 games for Brazil.
