Mohun Bagan AC will host the Brazilian at a function later in the evening, where he will meet the Mohun Bagan players that had played against Cosmos.
Atlético de Kolkata will host Pelé on Tuesday morning while the players and officials would get a chance to interact with the Brazilian. Pelé is also scheduled to attend Atlético de Kolkata’s Indian Super League (ISL) home game against Kerala Blasters FC in the evening.
Pelé will continue his India Tour on Wednesday when he heads to Delhi to attend the Subroto Cup 2015 Final on October 16.
