Christ the Redeemer lit up green and yellow to mourn Pele

Dec 30 2022

Following the passing of football legend Pele, three days of mourning were announced by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

To commemorate the footballer’s death, Brazil’s iconic Christ the Redeemer statue was illuminated with green and yellow lights in tribute.

Pele was considered by some to be one of, if not the, best players of all time. Passing away at the age of 82 on Thursday after battling cancer for several years, he had gone on to win three World Cups.

He became the only player in history to do so, also racking a record of 1279 goals in 1363 appearances.

Pele spent the majority of his club career in Brazil with Santos, helping them win six top-flight titles as well as two Copa Libertadores trophies.

His legacy was further cemented as he was crowned Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 and joint player of the century in 2000 by FIFA along with Diego Maradona.
