Pelé was initially diagnosed with the disease in 2021, and had been in and out of medical facilities over the past year to help him fight it.But, sadly, his condition worsened recently … forcing him to spend the last two months in a hospital bed.
Pelé was able to watch the 2022 World Cup in his final days … and even penned a congratulations post on his social media page to Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe after the epic Argentina vs. France final last weekend.
He had also written an emotional note to Neymar after a huge performance for Brazil earlier in the famed tournament.
Pelé joined Brazil’s national team when he was just 16 years old … and won his first-ever World Cup at age 17 in 1958.He went on to lead Brazil to two more titles in the event, winning it all in 1962 and 1970.
He’s widely regarded as one of the best goal scorers ever — with Cristiano Ronaldo previously calling him “the greatest player in football history.”
He was 82.

So sad to hear that the greatest footballer ⚽️ to have ever lived has passed away; and never forget that he made the number 10 shirt so iconic for the current (and past) crop of players to wear.
… And three world Cup winners medals as well. 🎖🎖🎖
Condolences to his family and friends 🙏

R.I P. King Pele’ of Brazil and World Soccer. Your Name Pele’ and your memories would live on forever. Again,R.I.P.
Rest in peace my greatest football hero. You lived great. And made many people happy during your lifetime. May God bless your soul and keep you in his peace forever.
ONE THOUGHT or TWO
“God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and ETERNITY our measurement.”
Pele’ was born with a natural gift, a talent, a ‘special intellect’ and with his commitment and dedication to the sport of football (soccer), he developed that gift by practice, perseverance, preparation to be the ‘greatest footballer’ in the world!
Everyone who saw him competing, live and video, will always remember a ‘magical moment’ of his performances in Santos Club and the 1970 World Cup team, a team that experts regard as the best ever in the world (just as in cricket, the world, dominant West Indies cricket team 1975-90).
Neymar’s tribute to Pele’ is powerful and captivating: “He turned football into art, into entertainment. He gave voice to the poor, to the blacks (people of African descent) and especially: He gave visibility to Brazil.
Soccer and Brazil have raised their status thanks to the King! ”
Think hard about it! Our education system MUST PRIORITIZE STEM + creative Arts + entrepreneurship in our curriculum of EVERY PUBLIC SCHOOL and INSTITUTION year-round, in-school, extra-curricular programs (after school activities), summer to achieve our economic and social development goals.
Let us all interact with each other, with humility, grace and good intentions!
Respect.
