Soccer Legend Pelé To Offer A Once In A Lifetime Opportunity
In 1961 the country of Brazil declared Pelé as a national treasure. He is considered the best soccer player of all time. Pelé is the only footballer to have been a three-time world champion, in 1958, 1962 and 1970, with the Brazilian team. He amassed an incredible array of honors with the two professional clubs he played for (Santos FC and New York Cosmos), winning the Intercontinental Cup (1962 and 1963), the Copa Libertadores (1962 and 1963), the North American Soccer League (1977) and the São Paulo championship (ten times) in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Since his retirement from the sport, Pelé has been an ambassador for the UN and UNESCO for Education, Ecology and the Environment. Truly a legend, a chance to not only meet Pelé would be a honor, but a chance to train with Pelé… Now that is priceless.
Soccer News: Pelé, the greatest soccer player of all time, in conjunction with KLF SPORTS and Soccer Marketing and Promotions, will be hosting a once-in-a-lifetime, two-day weekend father and son/daughter soccer camp.

Tom Mulroy, a South Florida soccer staple and the President of SM&P, will be the master of ceremonies. “It was a dream to play against Pele as a professional player for the Miami Toros back in 1976 when he awarded me with his jersey after our game in Yankee Stadium” Mulroy said. “Now, nearly 40 years later, it’s still an honor to be on the soccer field with Pelé, the king of soccer. What an opportunity for soccer fans to meet him in person! I’m super excited I can’t wait.”
