Pelé fans pray for football star outside Brazilian hospital as he receives palliative care

CA, 05 Dec 2022
Brazilian fans of football legend Pelé held hands and prayed for the star outside Saõ Paulo's Albert Einstein Hospital on Sunday, after he had been hospitalized during his battle with colon cancer.

Ciro Santos, a father of two and supporter of Santos FC, which Pelé had played for, said he came to "pay him tribute so he recovers."
