The legendary Brazilian once again arrives in Kolkata with fans celebrating by splashing his posters across the city...

Pele, arguably the greatest footballer of all time, arrived in Kolkata on Sunday morning amidst cheering from fans. This is the second time the legend has set his foot in the City of Joy with his first visit coming in 1977 when Cosmos locked horns with Mohun Bagan in a memorable encounter.

The three times World Cup winner arrived at the Kolkata airport having spent the night in Dubai and is expected to rest today after being received by two Indian footballers, namely Chuni Goswami and Dipendu Biswas at the Taj Bengal hotel.

On Monday, Pele's day will start with addressing a press conference on behalf of Atletico de Kolkata following which he will meet students of NSHM, a Kolkata college in the afternoon. The main program will be taking place at Netaji Indoor Stadium in the evening where he will meet the players of the Mohun Bagan side that had played against Cosmos in 1977 at the Eden Gardens.

The likes of Sourav Ganguly and A.R.Rahman are also expected to be present at the event with Rafael Nadal likely to join on video conference.

If time permits, he will also travel to 'Chetla Agrani' to inaugurate their pandal ahead of Durga Puja. Agrani is the club Mohun Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen is closely associated with.

The next morning Pele will meet the Atletico de Kolkata players before attending the franchise's Indian Super League (ISL) match against Kerala Blasters later in the day. He will be part of an auction event on Tuesday night.

The city once again is upbeat with the arrival of the legend, with the organizers already hoping for a full-house at both venues.
