Pelé
Pelé was a Brazilian footballer widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, having won three FIFA World Cups with the Brazilian national team.
Pelé made his professional debut for Santos FC at just 15 years old and was called up to Brazil's national team the following year, becoming the youngest player to win a World Cup when Brazil triumphed in 1958 at age 17.
He went on to win two more World Cups with Brazil, in 1962 and 1970, becoming the only player in history to win three World Cup titles, and scored over 1,000 career goals across his club and international career.
Pelé later served as an ambassador for the sport and briefly as Brazil's Minister of Sport, remaining a global icon of football until his death in December 2022.
