Pele, who led Brazil to three World Cup titles, played for a professional soccer team in Santos, a port town near Sao Paulo, for 18 years, setting numerous records, including winning the club team world title twice. .
Pele's coffin was moved from a hospital in Sao Paulo to a soccer stadium in Santos on the 2nd, and a ceremony of condolence was held there.
