Description

The World Cup final that made Pele a household name

Rare ticket stub for the 1958 FIFA World Cup final, which took place in Rasunda Stadium in Solna, Sweden, on June 29, 1958. Brazil won the World Cup by defeating host country Sweden 5 to 2 and earning their first World Cup title. The ticket, 4.5 x 3, is issued for Section H, Bench 24, and Place 1606. In fine condition, with an unobtrusive central vertical fold. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

The 1958 World Cup final is best remembered for Brazil’s first FIFA title and for the emergence of the young Brazilian superstar Pele, a 17-year-old football prodigy whose two goals helped Brazil secure their historic victory. Pele's performance in the 1958 World Cup final not only showcased his incredible technical skills and composure in front of goal but also marked the beginning of his legendary career. This victory played a significant role in cementing Pele's status as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
