Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé
The Embassy of Brazil in Baku has created a memorial page for condolences on the death of Pele
Baku/30.12.22/Turan: The Embassy of the Federative Republic of Brazil informs, with immense grief, of the passing of Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, on December 29th 2022. Elected the athlete of the 20th century in 1980, he was three times world champion for the Brazilian national football team, in 1958, 1962 and 1970 and is considered the best player in the history of the sport by numerous organizations and entities.
The King of Football projected, like few others, the name of Brazil abroad throughout his career. There is no place in the world that does not know the name of Pelé and, through him, Brazil. Wherever he went, he attracted crowds that were delighted with his spectacular football and his always generous and outstanding presence. Pelé is closely associated with Brazil's image abroad.
Furthermore, the Embassy of Brazil informs that a condolence book is available for signature at the following address: https://www.remembr.com/en/brasemb.baku.pele
