In the statement he has published, “The news that Pele from Brazil, the incomparable sportsman who is the king of football and the son of the football festival, has passed away without health, has shocked football fans like me all over the world.
The news that Pele, who was born into a poor family, grew up in poverty, started playing football as a small boy and helped Brazil qualify for the World Cup three times, has suffered from ill health in the last days is heartbreaking. But Pele’s name and fame will shine like a pole star as long as he lives in the world of football. I offer my deepest condolences to the Pele family and football fans.
Previously, Pele had been suffering from cancer for a long time. His family and agent confirmed that he was admitted to the hospital on November 29 and died yesterday (Dec. 29).
Later, Pele’s daughter, Kelly Nascimento, posted a photo on Instagram of the family holding Pele’s hand as he lay in bed. “Thank you for all that we are. Love you so much. May your soul rest in peace,” he said.
Pele, born Edson Arantes Nascimento, is 82. On September 2021, a cancerous tumor was removed from his colon. However, he continued to suffer from ill health.
In that way, on November 29, he was admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil for treatment due to several diseases including cancer. Also, the doctors said that the cancerous tumor in his colon was continuing to grow, and his kidney and heart failure needed more treatment.
Pele, who was a legend in football and created various achievements, was the main reason for the Brazilian team to win the World Cup in 1958, 1962 and 1970. Not only did Pele play a total of 92 matches and scored 77 goals, Pele also holds the record as Brazil’s top goalscorer until now.
