This was revealed by Maria Lucia do Nascimento, Pele's sister, who says that her mother is lost in her own world due to her age.

She said that when I mention my brother's name, she opens her eyes, but when I say to pray for him, mother does not understand anything.

According to reports, last month the late Pele celebrated his mother's 100th birthday, he also posted some pictures of his mother and himself on Instagram.

Known as the 'King' of football, Pele was the only player in history to win three World Cups in 1958, 1962 and 1970. Pele, who retired in 1977, was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2021.

According to reports, at the end of November, Pele was admitted to the hospital due to illness and his illness could not be treated. On December 21, doctors said that Pele's cancer had relapsed, so he needed more care. He died a week after admission.
