Pele, Brazil"s three-time World Cup-winning legend, dies at 82 after battling prolonged illness

30-12-2022 21:24

Brazil legend Pele, one of the greatest footballers of all time, died at the age of 82.

The former Brazilian footballer died of colon cancer after he stopped responding to the chemotherapy treatment.

He was admitted to hospital earlier this month to re-evaluate his cancer treatment and was later diagnosed with a respiratory infection. Pele had a tumor removed from his colon in September last year and had since been receiving hospital treatment on a regular basis.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards in the history of the game, the Brazilian made his international debut at the age of 16 and ended his career as the all-time leading goalscorer for the team, scoring 77 goals in 92 matches.

Pele is the only player to lift the FIFA World Cup thrice - in 1958, 1962, and 1970.
