Pele is a legendary Brazilian football player who was born in 1940. He helped Brazil win the World Cup in 1958, 1962, and 1970, cementing his status as one of the greatest players in Brazilian and world football history. Despite never winning the Golden Ball award during his career when it was only given to European players, FIFA honored Pele in 2014 with an honorary Golden Ball for his outstanding career achievements. Football is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players each. The objective is to score more goals than the opposing team by moving the ball into their goal using any part of the body besides the hands or arms.
