In tandem with the FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted this summer in Brazil, Emirates has declared that a partnership with world famous soccer player Pelé will showcase the connections that the company creates between 'people, places and passions around the world' – through its sponsorship of sports, as well as an airline.
