      Pele’s coffin will then be carried through the streets and will pass in front of the home of his 100-year-old mother, Celeste.
      The burial will take place at the Memorial Necropole Ecumenica and only family will attend.
      His final resting place will be in a unique “vertical cemetery” in a 14-floor building which includes 14,000 vaults, a waterfall and a car museum.
      It includes crypts, rooms to hold services, a crematorium, and a mausoleum “for families who want to preserve their legacy in a more personal and private way”.
      It even contains a tropical garden that includes a small rooftop cafe and a waterfall also.
      Brazil also announced three days of national mourning for Pele.
      Nicknamed The King, Pele won three World Cups with Brazil between 1958 and 1970 – the only player in football history to achieve the feat.
      His amazing haul of 1,279 goals in 1,363 games, which included friendlies, is recognised as a Guinness World Record.
      He also scored a remarkable 77 goals in 92 games for the national team – a record equalled by Neymar at the recent World Cup.
      The current Brazilian No.10 has led the huge outpouring of tributes to the late, great superstar along with modern day greats Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
      Pele made his debut for his local team Santos aged just 15 and won his first cap for the Brazil national team at 16. 
      He won the World Cup in 1958 aged just 17, and then won it again in 1962 and 1970.
      The South American superstar racked up 643 goals in 659 appearances for club side Santos across his 18-year spell.

      World leaders, sporting greats and celebrities have flocked to social media to join fans who are sharing their condolences.
      President Biden took to Twitter to say: “For a sport that brings the world together like no other, Pelé’s rise from humble beginnings to soccer legend is a story of what is possible.  
      “Today, Jill and I’s thoughts are with his family and all those who loved him.”
      Former president Bill Clinton shared: “Pelé was not only a football legend but also a humanitarian and global icon.
      “He used his platform to empower disenfranchised children and inspire generations around the world. We give thanks for his life and legacy.”
      Gary Lineker said: “Pele has died. The most divine of footballers and joyous of men. He played a game only a few chosen ones have come close to.
      “3 times he lifted the most coveted gold trophy in that beautiful yellow shirt. He may have left us but he’ll always have footballing immortality. RIP Pele.”
      England World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst tweeted: “I have so many memories of Pele, without doubt the best footballer I ever played against (with Bobby Moore being the best footballer I ever played alongside).

      Cristiano Ronaldo put on social media: “My deep condolences to all of Brazil, and in particular to the family of Edson Arantes do Nascimento.
      “A mere ‘goodbye’ to the eternal King Pele will never be enough to express the pain that the entire football world is currently embracing.
      “An inspiration to so many millions, a reference yesterday, today and forever. The love you always showed me was reciprocated in every moment we shared even from distance.
      “He will never be forgotten and his memory will live forever in each and every one of us football lovers. Rest in peace King Pele.”

      The 82-year-old’s cancer has advanced and doctors recently said he is under “elevated care” related to “kidney and cardiac dysfunctions.”
      His daughter Kely Nascimento spoke out online as she posted a picture with her sister Flavia and Pele’s grandchildren, Octavio Felinto Neto and Gabriel Arantes. 
      Kely said: “These moments are hard to explain. Sometimes there is a lot of sadness and despair, other times we laugh and talk of fun memories.
      “And what we learn most from all this is that we have to look for each other, and hold tight. Only when it’s all worth it. With it all together.”

      Pele has been undergoing treatment for some time for colon cancer and had been receiving chemotherapy sessions.
      The Brazilian icon then developed a lung infection as he became weaker due to the ongoing treatment he is receiving.
      He had a colon tumour removed in September 2021 but no confirmation has been received as to whether the cancer had spread to other organs.
      Pele spent Christmas in hospital but received the support of his loving family and the footballing community around the globe.

      Pele update – Brazilian football legend’s old rival says he’s ‘praying’ as 82-year-old’s condition worsens

      by

      BRAZILIAN footie legend Romario has put his rivalry with Pele aside to send the poorly 82-year-old his well wishes. He said he was “praying” for the three times World Cup winner as his health sadly continues to deteriorate.

      Pele has been battling colon cancer since September 2021, but his condition has worsened in recent weeks.
      The footballing icon’s family have been gathered at his bedside over Christmas following his latest health scare.
      This week, doctors said his cancer had advanced and that he now requires care related to renal and cardiac dysfunction.
      As the world of football reels from the sad news, players from around the world have sent Pele messages of support.
      READ MORE ON PELE
      Even his former foe Romario has offered up his well wishes for the sporting star – despite their fiery feud over the years.
      The retired ace turned politician, 56, told Ge Globo: “King, get better. So much faith.
      “The whole world is looking and praying for you. Improvements! I kiss your heart.”
      His touching words were welcomed by Brazil fans, who were moved to see the striker put their differences aside.
      Most read in Football
      The duo had been locked in a bitter war of words since 2007 when Romario dubbed Pele “a poet when he doesn’t speak.”
      The Brazilian hero hit back at the jibe, simply branding his rival “ignorant” in a scathing response.
      Pele said: “There are lots of people who don’t really know what they want and simply attack the past.
      “But I’m a Catholic and I believe that God always forgiven the ignorant, so I forgive the ignorant.”
      The Selecao legends continued to lock horns over the years, with fans pitting the pair against each other.
      Pele, who says he scored 1,283 goals during his illustrious career, easily dwarfed party-loving Romario’s 542 balls hitting the back of the net.
      But they are both regarded as geniuses on the pitch thanks to their incredible skill.
      Other footie stars have expressed their support for Pele since his hospitalisation.
      Brazilians Rivaldo and Vinicius Jr wrote on their social media channels: “Strength King.”
      And French star Kylian Mbappe called on his 10.9miillion Twitter followers to “pray for the King.”
      Pele praised the striker’s efforts in the 2022 World Cup, after revealing his beloved team’s run had kept him “full of energy” before Brazil were knocked out by Croatia.
      He wrote in an Instagram post: “Today, football continues to tell its story, as always, in an enthralling way. Messi winning his first World Cup, as his trajectory deserved.
      “My dear friend, Mbappé, scoring four goals in a final. What a gift it was to watch this spectacle to the future of our sport.”
      In the latest update on his health, Pele’s daughter said his family were grateful for “another night” with him.
      Kely Nascimento shared emotional pictures from the hospital online after celebrating Christmas at his bedside.
      She wrote in a heartbreaking Instagram post that his loved ones still “have a lot to be thankful for.”
      Kely continued: “Even in sadness we can only be thankful.
      “Thank you for being together, thank you for all your affection, thank you that I can be here now with him.
      “Merry Christmas. Lots of health, lots of love, lots of joy, lots of laughter and lots of passion, today and always, for all of you.
      “Another night with him.”
      Pele’s wife Marcia Aoki was also pictured gathered at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo.
      Pele is considered to be one of the greatest footballers of all time.
      Along with his three World Cup wins, he scored 643 goals in 659 in official matches for club side Santos.

      That incredible record added to his 77 goals in 92 matches for Brazil.

      And that bout of treatment is set to last several months.

      “After the operation, the tumour was sent off for further analysis, and the biopsy revealed that the cancerous cells were more aggressive than previously thought.
      “Because of this I now need to undergo chemotherapy treatment. This process has not begun and will last for several months.
