Pelé, Edson Arantes do Nascimento,
is widely considered one of the greatest football players in history.
His unparalleled career saw him winning three FIFA World Cups with the Brazilian national team (1958, 1962, and 1970),
making him the only player to achieve this feat.
His extraordinary ability to score goals—over 1,000 in his career—captivated fans globally and earned him the title of a national treasure in Brazil.

Pelé first gained international fame at just 17, during the 1958 World Cup, where he scored a hat-trick in the semifinals and two more goals in the final, helping Brazil claim victory.
His influence extended beyond the field; Pelé's charisma and sportsmanship transformed the global image of football, inspiring generations of players.

After retiring from football, he became a global ambassador for the sport, promoting peace, education, and sportsmanship.

His legacy continues to shine not only through his achievements on the field but also through his work in promoting the game around the world, including in the U.S. when he played for the New York Cosmos later in his career.
His life story remains a source of inspiration for many, from humble beginnings to global stardom.
