Gianni Infantino has revealed proposals to honor the Brazilian football icon
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called on every nation to name a football stadium after Brazil icon Pele, who passed away last Thursday at the age of 82 after a battle with cancer.
Infantino made the suggestion while speaking to reporters at Santos’ Urbano Caldeira Stadium, where the legendary footballer is effectively lying in state ahead of his burial on Tuesday, with thousands of mourners queuing to pay tribute.
More than 5,000 members of the media from across the globe are thought to be attending the public memorial, which is taking place inside the Santos football stadium where Pele enjoyed so many of his finest moments.
The Brazilian legend was born in Tres Coracoes but moved to Santos in 1956 and spent the majority of his life in the Sao Paulo neighborhood.
Infantino was joined at the memorial by several dignitaries, including the South American country’s recently elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.
