Pele’s family members gathered at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo on Saturday, where the 82-yearold, widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, has been since late November.

Doctors said this week that Pele’s cancer had advanced and that he requires care related to renal and cardiac dysfunction.

Pele has received regular medical treatment since a tumor was removed from his colon in September last year.

Pele has been attempting to battle for his life since since learning that he has cancer, but his advanced age is also a significant part in this.

Throughout the past 48 hours, Pele has received words of support from a wide range of football figures.

While there are numerous social media messages coming from all around the world, other Brazilian footballers like Neymar have been contacting their idol.

The condition of Pele's health is a concern for the entire football community. We all understand that the situation is not ideal and that anything can happen in a short period of time. All we can do right now is wait for it to happen and be thankful we lived in a time when Pelé was around for a long time.
