Brazilian legend Pele will attend a fundraising event in the Burlington Hotel on November 26 in a bid to raise cash for Our Lady’s Hospital For Sick Children.
The Ireland manager said “I am delighted Pele is coming to Ireland and giving the people of Ireland an opportunity to share his life and memories. Pele is simply one of footballs true greats. I want to invite all those interested to join us and help sick children both here and abroad.â€
Funds raised will be divided equally between the Dublin hospital and the Little Prince Children’s Hospital in Brazil
