Description:
Match-worn jersey by Pelé during the 1969 and 1970 seasons. São Paulo state champion in 1969, that same year he achieved feats that transcended sport: his presence in Africa led to a ceasefire during the Congo Crisis, an episode later echoed in Nigeria.
Also in 1969, Santos FC won the Intercontinental Super Cup against Inter Milan at the San Siro. In November, at the Maracanã Stadium, Pelé scored the 1,000th goal of his career.
This jersey symbolizes the golden era of Santos and a defining chapter in the making of the greatest icon in the history of sport—the season Pelé played just before winning his third FIFA World Cup.
