The president of the world governing body of football (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, arrived in Brazil to express his condolences to the family of the deceased Pele.
The casket with Pele’s body is on display at the Santos stadium, from where a procession will start tomorrow (Tuesday, January 3) all the way to the Memorial Hill in Santos, where one of the best footballers of all time will be buried, according to his own wishes, in the company of his family.
Many sporting greats and soccer legends traveled to Brazil to pay tribute to the only soccer player who managed to win three World Cups. Among the many names is the first man of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, who addressed the local media with an interesting idea.
“We will ask all the countries of the world to name at least one stadium in their country after Pele.” “It is important that every child one day knows who Pele was,” said the FIFA president.
In 20 years of a brilliant playing career, the Brazilian scored more than 1200 goals.
