The head of FIFA Gianni Infantino called the deceased Pele unique and immortal
The President of the International Football Federation (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, spoke about the death of three-time world football champion Pele. His words are given on the website of the organization.
“For everyone who loves a beautiful game, this is the day we never wanted. The day we lost Pele,” said the head of FIFA. Infantino called Pele unique and immortal, and also noted that the Brazilian heritage cannot be described in words.
Pele died at the age of 82 on December 29. Doctors at the Albert Einstein Clinic, where the former football player was located, called the failure of internal organs against the background of progressive cancer the cause of death.
Pelé is a three-time World Cup Champion with Brazil. In 1999, the International Olympic Committee recognized the Brazilian as the athlete of the century.
