Since Jair Bolsonaro, the departing president of Brazil, also announced three days of mourning, Pele’s funeral has been scheduled on Monday, January 2.
On Thursday, the news of Pele’s passing was disclosed, and condolences from the sports community and beyond quickly followed. Pele “enchanted the globe,” according to Santos, his old club, and his remains will be interred there.
On January 2, Pele, who was 82 years old and had advanced colon cancer, will be laid to rest.
Following that, tributes from the football, sporting, and other communities flooded in. Barack Obama, Neymar, and Lionel Messi were among those to pay their respects.
Pele, who won the World Cup three times in 1958, 1962, and 1970, is one of the most renowned football players in history.
What time is Pele’s funeral?
The casket will be positioned in the middle of the lawn when the body is transported directly from the Albert Einstein Hospital to the Stadium at dawn on Monday, January 2. At 10 am, the public wake is anticipated to start.
Where will Brazil’s Pele be buried?
He will be buried on the 9th floor of Memorial Necropole Ecumenica cemetery in Santos, as he had always wished.
