Switzerland’s Gianni Infantino, president of the International Football Federation, came under harsh criticism during his attendance at the funeral of Brazilian legend Pele, who died at the age of 82 after a long battle with cancer, as fans stood a queue more than a kilometer long to greet him in a historical scene.
Infantino sparked controversy when he was seen smiling beside Pele’s coffin as he snapped a “selfie” photo with Lima, Pele’s former Santos teammate, but he quickly responded via Instagram, where he wrote: “I feel horrified upon learning of the criticisms I have received exposed because of these images.” .
He added: “I had the honor of fulfilling a request from some of Pelé’s colleagues and family members to take a picture with me, and of course I agreed immediately, and for the selfie in particular, Pelé’s colleagues asked to do a group photo for us, but they didn’t know how to do it, so I grabbed one of them’s phone and took the photo.” “.
