300px-Pele_-_World_Economic_Forum_Annual_Meeting_Davos_2006Who will receive the Fifa Ballon d’Or 2013? Nobody knows yet. We’ll have to wait for the gala to be organized by the governing body of world football tonight in Zurich to find it out although Africa has already chosen Cristiano Ronaldo.

But one thing is certain. During the same ceremony, a great name, a global football legend will be honored. This will be no one else but King Pelé.

The latter announced in the newspaper O Globo that he will receive during this great event, a honorary award of the Ballon d’Or.

This distinction, we must point out that, it did not exist when the legendary Brazilian player was active in the 1960s and 70s. Suffice to say that this evening’s gala will be full of colors.
