Eng Sub: Pele's 80th birthday is celebrated by a museum exhibit in Brazil

The "Museum of Football" in Brazil, which reopened this Thursday, launched an exhibit to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Pele.The "World Player of the Century" will turn 80 on 23rd October.

According to the director of the Museum of Football, the idea is to present Pele to a younger audience, what he has done and "why he is so important to Brazilians", in an age where Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo sometimes are considered the best footballer in history.

A giant sculpture of Pele is located at the museum entrance, inviting people to take pictures and selfies. Pele's exhibit marks the reopening of the museum, closed since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will run until April 2021.
