The only club in Mexico that Pelé knew for its greatness, he was even a guest of the team

For many considered the best footballer in history, Pelé, has not had a good time these last months of 2022 after a degenerative disease that has kept him in the hospital in Brazil and his entire family in veil. O Rei is in the prayers of many around the world after a prognosis that is not the most encouraging.

Pelé has had a very particular closeness to Mexico and Mexican soccer. It is worth remembering that it was precisely in Mexico where Pelé finished writing history in 1970 when he won the World Cup with Brazil at the Azteca Stadium. As a result, Pele's affection for Mexico and its soccer has always been a constant feature of his life.
