The burial of the late football legend Pele has been scheduled to hold on Monday and Tuesday.
While the wake keep will be held on Monday, the body of the 82-year-old football great will be laid to rest on Tuesday at his Santos home.
The Santos football club, in a statement, said, “The wake for the greatest footballer of all time will be held in Urbano Caldeira Stadium, better known as the Vila Belmiro, where he enchanted the world.”
The statement added that Pele would then get a funeral procession through the city’s streets before a private burial ceremony.
Pele died at Albert Einstein Hospital on Thursday after losing the battle against colon cancer.
He will be taken from the hospital to Estádio Urbano Caldeira in Vila Belmiro Monday morning where the coffin will be placed in the centre of the pitch. The wake is expected to begin at 10am.
