He was even congratulated by Pele: The incredible story of Marivaldo, winner of the FIFA Fan Award
Marivaldo is a fan of Flamengo, he did an incredible feat to support his team, FIFA paid tribute to him and that is why Pele sent him a curious greeting.
The FIFA awards ceremony left many stories in addition to The Best Awards that Robert Lewandoski won and Pele knows it. For Pele, one of the most important prizes went to Marivaldo, the Flamengo fan who won the FIFA Fan Awards for an incredible feat to watch a match of his team.
Marivaldo is a humble Flamengo fan who never wants to miss a match and is even capable of walking 60 km to see his team. That caught Pele's attention and the best Brazilian player of all time sent his greetings and congratulations to Marivaldo on his Instagram. It is a great gesture for Pele to congratulate Marivaldo's feat.
ele was surprised to publish a photo about Marivaldo and not Lewandoski, but Marivaldo's passion for soccer was stronger than the German. Pele cannot believe that someone walks more than 60km just to see his soccer team and that is exactly what Marivaldo did. Because he had no money for the bus, he had to walk to the Flamengo game.
Pele is going through a time of great sadness since after the death of Diego Maradona, he suffered greatly from the death of Italian Paolo Rossi. Pele at 80 is going through a hard personal moment but he does not stop showing himself close to soccer. Pele made a great gesture to finish Marivaldo after winning the FIFA Fan Award.
