Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>FIFA President Gianni Infantino thanked Cape Verde for naming the country’s main stadium, the National Stadium, after Pele\u0301.<\/p>\n

On his Instagram page, Infantino thanked the Prime Minister for his intention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you very much Cape Verde! I would like to thank the Prime Minister, Ulisses Silva, the Minister of Sports, Carlos do Canto, and the Cabo Verdean Football Federation, in the person of its president, Ma\u0301rio Semedo, for the fact that Cape Verde announced its intention to give the name of Pele\u0301 to the National Stadium\u201d, can be read in the note left by Gianni Infantino on the social network.<\/p>\n

pioneering gesture<\/p>\n

For Infantino, this pioneering gesture dignifies the country and honors the memory of Pele\u0301, adding that he hopes that “more stadiums and places where football is played, all over the world, may also come to be associated with this global homage”.<\/p>\n

Guinea-Bissau has also expressed interest in naming a local stadium after Pele\u0301.<\/p>\n

Pele\u0301 died last week at the age of 82, at the Israeli Albert Einstein hospital, in Sa\u0303o Paulo, following the failure of multiple organs, a result of the progression of colon cancer.<\/p>\n
