Brazilian soccer great Pele has confirmed his visit to India to watch the Indian Super League champions Atletico de Kolkata's Season 2 opening home game against Kerala Blasters on October 13.
“Hello, I am very happy to attend the Atletico de Kolkata first home match. I look forward to visit the Salt Lake Stadium and meeting the players and the fans. Fatafati Football,” 74-year-old Pele said in a video message.
