Curiosity

In 1967, during a Santos tour in Africa, Pelé starred in a remarkable episode amidst the Nigerian Civil War: the conflict had a brief pause in Lagos so the population could watch a Santos match. The episode helped consolidate the international dimension Pelé had already achieved at that time.
