1969-70 Pele Match Worn Santos FC Jersey

Pelé’s Santos Jersey: A Timeless Treasure

Celebrating a Football Legend

In the pantheon of football greats, few names resonate as profoundly as that of Pelé. Voted the Football Player of the Century by the IFFHS and named the “Athlete of the Century” by the International Olympic Committee in 1999, Pelé’s legacy is unparalleled. As the top scorer of all time, his impact on the sport is immeasurable. After an illustrious 17-year career with Santos, Pelé retired from Brazilian club football in 1972, though he occasionally donned the Santos jersey for official matches.

We are honored to present one of Pelé’s iconic Santos jerseys, a piece that embodies the essence of his legendary career. This long-sleeved, collared shirt features the “ATHLETA” manufacturer’s tag inside the rear neck, a testament to its authenticity.

This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use.
