Pele predicts World Cup glory for Brazil

The country will be represented at the biggest football event by winning the qualifying tournament

Football legend Pele said Thursday, 10 November, that he believes Brazil will be crowned World Cup champions for a sixth time in Qatar next month, as reported by Xinhua News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.

Brazil earned a berth to international football's premier event by going undefeated in qualifying and finishing top of the 10-team South American group, six points ahead of second-placed Argentina.

"You may even think that I am too confident, but I feel that we will see Brazil win again," the 82-year-old said on social media.

Brazil, who last won the World Cup in 2002, will begin their campaign against Serbia on 24 November and will also meet Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G.

Widely regarded as one of the best footballers of all time, Pele is the only player to win the World Cup three times, lifting the trophy in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

In recent years, he battled a series of health issues, including problems related to his spine, hip, knee and kidneys. Last year, he underwent surgery to remove a tumor in his colon, which was followed by chemotherapy.
