How many baby mamas did Pele have?

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé, was a Brazilian footballer who primarily played as a forward.

He was one of the most successful and popular sports stars of the twentieth century, regarded as one of the best players of all time, and dubbed “the greatest” by FIFA.

He was named the International Olympic Committee’s Athlete of the Century in 1999, and Time named him one of the 100 most influential individuals of the 20th century.

Pelé was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA Player of the Century award in 2000 and was chosen by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) as the World Player of the Century. Including friendly, he scored 1,279 goals in 1,363 games, which is recognized as a Guinness World Record.

Pelé joined Santos at the age of 15 and the Brazil national team at the age of 16. He was the only player to win three FIFA World Cups throughout his international career, in 1958, 1962, and 1970.

Following the 1958 competition, he earned the moniker O Rei (The King). Pelé is Brazil’s equal-best goalscorer, with 77 goals in 92 appearances. He is Santos’ all-time leading scorer with 643 goals in 659 games.

He led Santos to the Copa Libertadores in 1962 and 1963, as well as the Intercontinental Cup in 1962 and 1963. Pelé is credited with popularizing the phrase “The Beautiful Game” with his “electrifying skill and penchant for spectacular goals,” and his teams toured globally to capitalize on his fame.
