In December 2000, Pelé and Maradona shared the prize of
FIFA Player of the Century by
FIFA. The award was originally intended to be based upon votes in a web poll, but after it became apparent that it favoured
Diego Maradona, many observers complained that the Internet nature of the poll would have meant a skewed demographic of younger fans who would have seen Maradona play, but not Pelé. FIFA then appointed a "Family of Football" committee of FIFA members to decide the winner of the award. The committee chose Pelé. Since Maradona was winning the Internet poll, however, it was decided he and Pelé should share the award.
A consensus of media and expert polls rank Pelé as the greatest footballer of all time.
