Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was also among those who attended the wake.[10][11]

More than 230,000 people were reported to have attended Pelé's public wake.[10][11] Many in attendance were wearing the yellow and green No. 10 Brazilian jerseys and the black and white Santos football club jersey, which Pelé wore during his career.[8][11] Brazil television channels suspended normal broadcasting to cover the funeral procession.[10] After the funeral procession, Pelé was buried at Memorial Necrópole Ecumênica.[12][13]
