Alejandro Dominguez, the president of CONMEBOL, has explained that there is a proposal to change the badge on Brazil's shirt in honour of Pele.
Currently, Brazil have five stars as part of their crest, to show that they have been world champions five times.
There is now a CONMEBOL proposal, though, to swap out three of those stars for hearts, which would honour Pele.
What did the CONMEBOL president say about Pele?
"We want to send all our strength and support to Pele and his family and we hope he recovers as soon as possible," Dominguez said at an event in Doha.
"Pele was a genius, the first No.10. After him came the rest of the No.10s and with that came the comparisons, but Pele will always be incomparable.
"He will always be in the hearts of people who love football.
"Pele is present here at this World Cup. To pay tribute to him, we want to take advantage of this event to propose to the Brazilian football federation that they change three of the five stars on their crest for three hearts, as a tribute to the King.
"He is the only star to have won the World Cup three times."
Pele, famously, was part of the Brazil squads that triumphed in Sweden in 1958 in Chile in 1962 and in Mexico in 1970.

Am lucky to have seen Diego Maradona before he passed away on Nov 25th of 2020. I am lucky to see Pele the great. I am lucky to See Geoge Weah. I am lucky to See Oliver Kan. I am lucky to know Roger Miller Milla. I wish i would have seen Johan Cruyff though he passed away on March 24, 2016. Am lucky to have known Samuel Eto, Ronaldinho, Roony, Beckham, Zidan zizu, Ronaldo of Brazil, Messi and CR7. I hail their impact on the world of football

Not a bad idea at all! ....We need to pay homage to our legends before they exit...They should be honoured whilst they're alive since the dead cannot either see or hear🥴🥴☹👁
