Individual

In December 2000, Pele along with Maradona shared the prize of FIFA player of the Century by FIFA. The award was originally intended to be based upon votes in a web poll, but after it became apparent that it favoured Diego Maradona after a reported cyber-blitz by Maradona fans, FIFA then appointed a “Family of Football” committee of FIFA members to decide the winner of the award together with the votes of the readers of the FIFA magazine. The committee chose Pele since Maradona was winning the Internet poll, however, it was decided he and pele should share the award.
