Brazilian Club Santos To Add Crown To Club Crest In Honour Of Brazil Legend Pele


Santos have resolved to pay tribute to legend Pele by updating the club's crest. 

The Brazilian football club will use a crown emblazoned on his uniform as a tribute to the three-time World Cup winner, who has been receiving treatment in the hospital for the past few weeks. 

The decision was announced by the president of the Deliberative Council of the São Paulo group, Celso Jatene in an interview. 

“The crown will already be on the shirt of 2023. Santos will play in 2023 with the crown on the badge: the two stars (of their two Brazilian titles) and a crown on the top of the badge,” Celso Jatene said via Archysport. 

 According to Footy Headlines, Santos' crest in 2023, will have a crown placed above it. The change will be permanent and is a homage to Pele, who many consider the greatest footballer of all time. 

Pelé has been hospitalized for almost a month in Sao Paulo on the back of his ailing health condition. 

He spent Christmas in the company of his family at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, where he has been receiving treatment. 


Family members spent Christmas morning on Sunday with Pele at the Sao Paulo hospital where the legendary footballer is battling worsening cancer as well as kidney and heart problems, according to a social media post by his daughter. 

Fans of the player, considered by many the greatest of all time, have been expressing hope for his recovery since he was hospitalized in Sao Paulo in late November.
