As the hearse carrying Pelé’s coffin left the Albert Einstein Hospital in So Paulo, where he died on Thursday from the effects of colon cancer, fireworks went off. Pelé won the World Cup three times.
The hearse was followed by a lot of police as it drove to the stadium, where his coffin will be put in the middle of the field.
Early Monday morning, fans were already lining the streets. Many of them were holding flags or banners with messages for “O Rei” (“The King”). One sign by the road said, “Pelé, you will live forever.”
There were a lot of big banners in the stands of the 16,000-seat Santos stadium. One of them said, “Long live the King.”
Pelé’s name has been linked to football for more than 60 years. He played in four World Cups and is the only player in history to win three of them. However, his legacy is much bigger than just the trophies and goals he scored.
Pelé once said, “I was born to play football, just like Beethoven and Michelangelo were born to write music and paint, respectively.”

Pelé, whose real name was Edson Arantes do Nascimento, is thought to be one of the best players of all time. When he died, Brazil held three days of national mourning.
Sports stars, politicians, and musicians from all over the world have paid tribute to a man who went beyond his sport and became a global icon.
