\nPreparations for the funeral ceremony of football legend Pele are underway in Brazil.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dignitaries and fans will gather at the Vila Belmiro Stadium in Santos, to pay last respects to the king of football.<\/p>\n

A tent where Pele’s remains will be placed has been erected in the centre of the pitch at the Villa Belmiro stadium.<\/p>\n

Big crowds are expected to converge in the city and surrounding area that is home to almost 2 million people for what is expected to be a deeply emotional ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) has erected a huge poster of Pele outside its headquarters with the message ‘Eterno’, Portuguese for ‘Eternal’ written above it.<\/p>\n

Pele, the Brazilian king of soccer who won a record three World Cups and became one of the most commanding sports figures of the last century, died in a Sao Paulo hospital last Thursday (29th December) after battling colon cancer. He was 82.<\/p>\n
