Pelé “would have been sad” for the current situation of the Brazilian national team, his son Edinho said in an interview with AFP a few days after the first anniversary of the star’s death. “This crisis did not arrive overnight, there are big and complex problems – says Edinho, one of Pelé’s seven sons -.
We are experiencing a decline… we still have great players but in the past we had more high-level players than today. There’s no doubt, if dad had been with us this year, he would have been very sad.” The green and gold national team is struggling in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup – they currently occupy sixth place in the South American rankings, the last one needed to obtain the pass – , and is without its star, Neymar, who is injured. The celebrations for the first anniversary of the death of Pelé, who passed away on December 29 at the age of 82 due to cancer, should be low-key. His children will reunite on line since many of them live in the United States, while a ceremony is planned at the Santos mausoleum, which opened to the public last May.
