Who is Pel's brother Zeca Nascimento?

Pelé was born Edson Arantes do Nascimento on October 23, 1940, in Três Coraçes, Brazil, as the first child of Joo Ramos and Dona Celeste.

Pelé, called “Dico” after Thomas Edison, came to the city of Bauru with his family when he was a child.

With his performance in the 1958 World Cup, Pelé gained notoriety. Before signing on with the New York Cosmos toward the end of his career, Pelé spent twenty years playing professionally in Brazil, winning three World Cups in the process.

He is an international champion for soccer and other social causes and was named FIFA’s co-Player of the Century in 1999.

After joining Santos, Pelé immediately began working out with the team’s regulars.

Before he turned 16, he scored his first professional goal, and in his first full season, he led the league in goals. He was then drafted to play for the Brazilian national team.

Who is Pelé’s brother Zeca Nascimento?

Nascimento Zoca, Pelé’s younger brother who briefly played for Santos, died Thursday, according to the Brazilian club.

Zoca, who was born on July 22, 1942, had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and was taken to a hospital in So Paulo.

He attempted to follow in his elder brother’s footsteps at Santos during the 1960s, but his stint with the club was brief – he made 15 games and scored four goals. Later, he left football to work as an adviser to three-time World Cup champion Pelé, managing his brother’s business ventures.
