What Is The Truth About The Death of Former Brazilian Footballer Pelé?
A piece of news post circulated on social media platforms that said: "The Brazilian and international football legend, Pelé passed away," and the Brazilian Football Confederation announced this news.
The Truth
The circulating news is incorrect, and everything that is being circulated regarding Pele's death is just continuous rumors due to the health condition of the "samba" legend and his constant admission to the hospital for treatment of a colon tumor.
Some pages and accounts on social media reported that the news of Pele's death was announced on the Brazilian Football Confederation website. After research, it was found that the news was false and was not released on the Brazilian Football Confederation website.
The news also indicates that (Pelé) died at the age of 75, but in fact, Pele's age is currently more than 81 years.
It is worth noting that Pele is one of the big names in the world of football and holds the title of the Black Pearl, and he is the only one in history to win the World Cup three times (1958, 1962, 1970), and was chosen by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 as one of the best athletes the twentieth century, and a year later FIFA chose him as the best player of the century.
