The Swiss Gianni Infantino, President of the International Federation of Football, was subjected to harsh criticism during his participation in the funeral of the Brazilian legend Pele, who passed away at the age of 82, following a long struggle with cancer, as fans stood in a queue of more than a kilometer long to bid farewell to him in a historical scene.
Infantino caused controversy when he was seen smiling next to Pele’s coffin as he took a “selfie” photo with Lima, Pele’s former teammate in Santos, but he quickly responded via Instagram, where he wrote, “I feel horrified following knowing the criticism I was exposed to because of these pictures.” .
He added, “I had the honor of fulfilling the request of some colleagues and members of Pele’s family to take a picture with me, and I obviously agreed immediately, and for the selfie specifically, Pele’s colleagues asked to take a group picture for us, but they did not know how to do it, so I took one of them’s phone and took the picture.” “.
