Pele’s World Cup-winning medal is being listed for auction alongside other classic World Cup memorabilia, according to multiple reports. The Independent, Evening Standard, Yahoo Sports, and the Belfast Telegraph all say the medal—awarded when Pele is a teenager—will be sold by an auction house as part of a broader collection of football memorabilia. The outlets note that the medal’s sale is expected to attract major interest. The Independent, Evening Standard, and Yahoo Sports estimate the medal alone could fetch around £500,000. The Belfast Telegraph reports a higher overall figure for the auction items, saying the wider collection is expected to bring in as much as £2 million, with the Pele medal among the highlights. While the reports differ in how they describe the auction’s total expected proceeds, they broadly agree on the medal’s identity, its association with Pele’s teenage years, and that it is expected to sell for a substantial sum. All accounts present the auction listing as imminent, framed around collector demand for historic World Cup artifacts.
