The Torch hotel outside Khalifa Stadium had a message on its side on Saturday sending well wishes to Pelé, the three-time World Cup winner from Brazil who has been battling colon cancer.
In São Paulo, officials for Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein said in a statement on Saturday that Pelé, 82, was in stable condition after being admitted earlier this week to reassess chemotherapy. Pelé had “a good response” to treatment for a respiratory infection, the statement said, and his health had not worsened in the last 24 hours.
The newspaper report did not suggest that his death was imminent, and the hospital did not say that Pelé had been moved to hospice.
