Pelé (1940- ), Brazilian soccer player who is considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time. Pelé led Brazil to international dominance in soccer and three World Cup titles from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. He later helped popularize the sport in the United States. Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento in Três Corações, Brazil, Pelé grew up playing soccer (known as fútbol in Brazil) in the streets of his hometown. Pelé’s father had been a professional player in the sport before injuries ended his career. Many Brazilian futbol players are known by a nickname—Pelé acquired his as a young boy, and later would say he did not know where it came from or what it means. When Pelé was 15 years old and a promising player, his local coach tried to persuade the major soccer teams in São Paulo to sign him.
