Live Funeral of Pelé: latest news of his wake in Brazil.
Gianni Infantino, the FIFA boss, causes a stir on social media and in the world of football once again, this time at the wake of Pelé at the Santos stadium in Brazil, as he was caught taking selfies just a few meters from the open coffin of the 'canarinha' star.
The Swiss-Italian was one of the first to arrive in Brazil to say goodbye to Edson Arantes Do Nascimento and has participated in the two days of commemoration for the former player. "The whole world knows Pelé and knows what Pelé did for football. He made people fall in love with football," he said to the press.
However, despite his heartfelt words, fans did not forgive what they considered a lack of respect for one of the greatest stars of football and expressed their rejection through social media.
At the same funeral, Infantino made a controversial suggestion. "We are going to honor the 'king' as he deserves. We will ask all federations worldwide, the 111 countries, to name a stadium in each country with the name of Pelé, because young people have to know and remember who he was."
