SAO PAULO, Oct 22: Brazilian soccer great Pele turns 80 on Friday, but the celebration will have to wait. The three-time World Cup winner will spend the day isolated with a few family members outside Sao Paulo, where he is expected to receive a flood of tributes from players, fans, celebrities and politicians.
His long-time spokesman, Pepito Fornos, said Pele will likely spend his birthday at his mansion in the beachfront city of Guaruj, on the coast of Sao Paulo state, where he has been since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He also has residences in Santos and Sao Paulo. �He will only stay with his family. No party at all,� Fornos told The Associated Press. � AP
