In two of the World Cups, Pelé also received personal distinctions: in 1958 he was chosen as the best young player, according to the specialized Transfermarkt page, and in 1970 as player of the tournament.

His greatest number of titles, however, is with Santos, the team in which Pelé – whom the president of Brazil declared a national treasure, preventing him from signing for a team outside the country – developed his career.

With the São Paulo team, the Brazilian soccer legend won 10 titles: 6 Brazilian Cups (from 1961 to 1965 and 1968), two Copa Libertadores (1962 and 1963) and two Intercontinental Cups (1962 and 1963 as well).

Pelé, who scored 1,281 goals in his professional career (in 1,363 matches), was the top scorer in six competitions: the 1964/1965 Copa Libertadores (8 goals), the 1964/1964 Brazilian Championship (7 goals) and 1960/1961. (9 goals), the Intercontinental Cup of 161/1962 (5 goals) and 1962/1963 (2 goals) and the 1959 South American Championship (8 goals).

The Ballon d'Or, Pelé's late title

France Football, the publication that awards the Ballon d'Or, initially conceived it as an exclusive recognition for European players.

This was the case from the first installment in 1956 until 1995, the year in which the criteria were expanded to include all players who were in European clubs.

This allowed that in 1997, for example, the distinction was taken by Ronaldo Nazário, who at that time was playing for FC Barcelona.

The exclusionary criteria of his first stage prevented players of the stature of Pelé himself, or Diego Maradona, from receiving it during their careers.

But in 2007 the publication took a new turn and opened the award to all players regardless of nationality or team.

Brazilian Pelé received an honorary 2013 Ballon d'Or (delivered in 2014).

Before, in the year 2000, Pelé had received the title of "Player of the Century" from FIFA, in a controversial episode in which Maradona was awarded simultaneously.
