He died of cancer in Brazil at age 82. His grace, athleticism and mesmerising moves transfixed players and fans.<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;President @CyrilRamaphosa has expressed his sadness at the passing of global football icon and social activist, Pele\u0301.&#8221; \u2014 Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;May he rest in peace. He led a good life and made a huge contribution to the development of global football in particular and world sport in general. He had an enormous generosity of spirit and humility despite his greatness as a footballer and sportsman. He also built bridges across nations, races and even religions. He was a UN Ambassador of goodwill. Pele is gone but the world will never forget him. RIP.&#8221; &#8211; Muhammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pele made millions of young boys in the Global South to dream. His profile as a Global icon of sporting excellence and high athletic achievement was an inspirational model which encouraged young men to transcend their limitations and defy all economic, social, cultural and political barriers. His legacy extends beyond the soccer pitch, the goals he scored and all his other exploits beyond soccer itself where his charisma and talent made wonderful things possible to authentic global leadership of a unique, talismanic kind. May his soul rest in peace.&#8221; \u2014 William Ruto, President of Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I pay my respect and tribute to Brazilian football legend Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as Pele\u0301.&#8221; \u2014 Paul Biya, President of Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are saddened to learn that the Brazilian football #legend, Pele\u0301 has passed away. We fondly remember the three-time World Cup winner&#8217;s flair and how he dazzled opponents. MHSRIP.&#8221; \u2014 Hakainde Hichilema, President of Zambia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA simple goodbye to the eternal King Pele\u0301 will never be enough to express the pain that hits the entire world of football at this moment. An inspiration for so many millions, a reference of yesterday, today, always. The affection he has always shown for me was reciprocal in every moment we shared, even at distance. He will never be forgotten and his memory will last forever in each and everyone of us football lovers. Rest in peace, King Pele\u0301.\u201d \u2014 Cristiano Ronaldo, Portuguese soccer star.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour place is on God\u2019s side. My eternal king. Rest in peace.\u201d \u2014 1970 World Cup winner Roberto Rivellino and teammate of Pele on the Brazilian national team.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore Pele\u0301, \u201910\u2032 was just a number. I read that somewhere at some point in my life. But that line, beautiful, is incomplete. I would say that before Pele\u0301 football was just a sport. Pele\u0301 changed everything. He transformed football into art, entertainment. He gave voice to the poor, to the Black and above all he gave Brazil visibility. Football and Brazil elevated their standing thanks to the King! He is gone, but his magic will endure. Pele\u0301 is eternal!\u201d \u2014 Brazilian star Neymar.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the privilege that younger Brazilians didn\u2019t have: I saw Pele\u0301 play, live, at Pacaembu and Morumbi (stadiums). Play, no. I saw Pele\u0301 give a show. Because when he got the ball he always did something special, which often ended in a goal. I confess that I was angry with Pele\u0301, because he always massacred my Corinthians. But, first and foremost, I admired him &#8230;. Few Brazilians took the name of our country as far as he did.&#8221; \u2014 Brazil\u2019s President-elect Luiz Ina\u0301cio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n<p>__<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For a sport that brings the world together like no other, Pele\u0301\u2019s rise from humble beginnings to soccer legend is a story of what is possible. Today, Jill and I\u2019s thoughts are with his family and all those who loved him.&#8221; &#8211; US President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pele\u0301 was one of the greatest to ever play the beautiful game. And as one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, he understood the power of sports to bring people together. Our thoughts are with his family and everyone who loved and admired him.\u201d \u2014 Former U.S. President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe king of football has left us but his legacy will never be forgotten. RIP KING.\u201d French player Kylian Mbappe\u0301.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the death of Pele\u0301, soccer has lost one of its greatest legends, if not the greatest. Like all legends, the King seemed immortal. He made people dream and continued to do that with generations and generations of lovers of our sport. Who, as a child, didn\u2019t dream of being Pele\u0301?&#8221; \u2014 Didier Deschamps, former player and manager of the French national team.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be very difficult to find another Pele\u0301. Pele\u0301 had everything a player should have. Agile, jumped like no one, could kick with both legs, physically very strong and brave. There was no one like Pele\u0301.\u201d \u2014 Cesar Luis Menotti, Argentine coach and Pele teammate in the Santos football club in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday football says goodbye to its most beautiful chapter. The man who charmed the world and changed the history of the game forever. You will always be the greatest, because 60 years ago, with all the difficulties you faced, you already did what only a few can do today. The man who dedicated his 1000th goal to children and made our country discover it could be much more.&#8221; &#8211; Brazil player Richarlison.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks for his flair and his class. He left a mark even on the generations who weren\u2019t lucky enough to see him play. Today the whole world mourns a legend named Pele.\u201d &#8211; Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPele\u0301 is an incontestable symbol of our nation, a source of pride for all of us. Beyond his achievements as a legend of world sport, Pele\u0301 was an exemplary public officer, loyal to his principles, values and to our country. We all lose in his departure.\u201d \u2014 Former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Pele\u0301 served as his sports minister.<\/p>\n<p>__<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFootball lost the greatest in its history today \u2013 and I a unique friend. Born in Tre\u0302s Corac\u0327o\u0303es, Pele\u0301 had three hearts: for football, for his family, for all people. One who played with the stars and always remained grounded. In 1977, I went to the United States. Because I really wanted to play in a team with Pele\u0301 at the New York Cosmos. That time by his side was one of the greatest moments of my career. We became U.S. champions together straight away, and Pele\u0301 called me his brother from that moment. It was an unimaginable honor for me.&#8221; &#8211; West Germany star Franz Beckenbauer.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPele\u0301 had a magnetic presence and, when you were with him, the rest of the world stopped. His life is about more than football. He changed perceptions for the better in Brazil, in South America and across the world. His legacy is impossible to summarise in words. Today, we all mourn the loss of the physical presence of our dear Pele\u0301, but he achieved immortality a long time ago and therefore he will be with us for eternity.\u201d &#8211; FIFA president Gianni Infantino.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the pleasure of meeting Pele\u0301 on a number of occasions in the 1980s and 1990s and our last meeting was on a working visit to Mexico in 2013 in Guadalajara. In each of our meetings I was struck by that same sense of joy with which he graced the football pitch.\u201d &#8211; Ireland President Michael D. Higgins.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPele has died. The most divine of footballers and joyous of men. He played a game only a few chosen ones have come close to. 3 times he lifted the most coveted gold trophy in that beautiful yellow shirt. He may have left us but he\u2019ll always have footballing immortality. RIP Pele.\u201d &#8211; Former English player and broadcaster Gary Linker.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRIP Pele\u0301. A hero to so many and one of the greatest to ever grace the game.\u201d- London Mayor Sadiq Khan.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPele was a truly magical footballer and a wonderful human being. It was an honour to have shared a pitch with him and I send my sincerest condolences to his family, friends and the Brazilian people.\u201d &#8211; Sir Bobby Charlton, former English player.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is very sad news indeed&#8230;Pele was an unbelievable footballer; he had style, grace, flair and made everything look so easy. The precision in the way he played made him such a joy to watch. However more than anything he was a good man with a great presence and a fantastic smile.\u201d &#8211; Denis Law, former Scottish player.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was and will remain the king of football.
