The legendary star, ambassador, and humanitarian reveals his insights on the game and shares his global vision for the sport in the trade reprint of his memoir.

Pele-legendary footballer and humanitarian-explores the sport's recent history andshares his most inspiring experiences, heartwarming stories, and hard-won wisdom.

"I know in my heart that soccer was good to me, and great to the world....I saw, time and again, how the sport improved countless millions of lives, both on and off the field. For me, at least, that's why soccer matters."

The world's most popular sport goes by many names-soccer, football, the beautiful game-but fans have always agreed on one thing- The greatest player of all time was Pele. Before Messi, before Ronaldo, before Beckham, Pele had a stunningtwenty-year career, where he was heralded as an international treasure. His accomplishments on the field proved to be pure magic- an unprecedented three World Cup championships and the all-time scoring record, with 1,283 goals. Since retiring, he has traveled the world as soccer's global ambassador, relentlessly promoting the positive ways soccer can transform young men and women, struggling communities, even entire nations.

This is Pele's legacy, his way of passing on everything he's learned and inspiring a new generation. In Why Soccer Matters, Pele details his ambitious goals for the future of the sport and, by extension, the world.
