According to CNN, the soccer player underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his right colon in September 2021. However, his health problems persisted for more than a year before he was hospitalized in São Paulo in November for a respiratory infection and other complications related to colon cancer. Pelé’s condition continued to worsen until he died on Thursday from multiple organ failure, per a statement from Albert Einstein Hospital. Heartbreaking…
As you may know, Pelé played in four World Cups with the Brazil team during his career – becoming the only player in history to win the championship three times. It’s no wonder why he’s known as “The King” of soccer! For years, he was a part of the Brazilian club Santos before he moved to the New York Cosmos in 1975 and retired two years later.
We’re sending our condolences to his family during this tough time, especially ahead of the new year. Rest in peace, Pelé.
