The stars who will attend Pele’s funeral

Brazil is still in mourning after the death of Pele, and the stars will not be absent from the funeral of the Brazilian star.

President Lula, who has just taken office, will attend the funeral, as will Neymar, suspended for PSG’s Ligue 1 match with Lens.

ProSport reporter Carmen Mandiș is in Brazil, from where he transmits the latest information about the funeral of the former great striker.

The stars who will attend Pele’s funeral

President Lula, but also Neymar, will not be absent from the funeral of Pele, who disappeared from us after a long suffering.

“Before Pele, ’10’ was just a number. I read this phrase somewhere at some point in my life. But that beautiful sentence is incomplete.

I would say that before Pele, football was just a sport. Pele changed everything. He turned football into art, into entertainment.

He gave a voice to the poor, the blacks and especially gave visibility to Brazil. Football and Brazil raised their status thanks to the King!

It’s gone, but its magic will remain. Pele is ETERNAL”, was Neymar’s message.

Franz Beckenbauer, the great absentee from Pele’s funeral

On the other hand, Franz Beckenbauer, who has reached the age of 77, cannot reach Brazil, as he pointed out to journalists from Bild.

The former great German football player has health problems, and these do not allow him to take a long flight by plane. Incidentally, Pele’s former colleague from the New York Cosmos also missed the World Cup in Qatar for this reason, where Germany were a bitter disappointment, leaving the final tournament after the group stage.

Pele will be driven on the last road to Ecumenical Necropolis Memorialwhere he will be buried.

The cemetery, located near the Santos stadium, is a stunning one. The building has floors, it looks absolutely spectacular and even the surroundings look exactly like a luxury tourist resort.

Memorial Necropole Ecumenica entered the Book of Records as the highest cemetery in the world.
