Pele died at the age of 82 on Thursday 29.12. He won the World Cup for Brazil three times in 1958, 1962 and 1970. No other player has won three World Cups.
Already on Monday, a huge number of mourners gathered at the stadium in Santos, Sao Paulo to say goodbye to Pelé. The line stretched up to two kilometers long.
President of the international football association Fifa Gianni Infantino said on Monday that Fifa plans to ask every country in the world to name one football stadium after Pele.
Tuesday’s ceremony will begin at the Vila Belmiro stadium of the Santos football team, from where the casket will travel through the streets of Santos in a funeral procession to a private blessing ceremony. The procession is also supposed to visit the home of Pelé’s 100-year-old mother.
