BRASILIA, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- The ball with which football legend Pele scored his one thousandth goal will be sold one of these days by the famous presenter Roberto Justus, reported local media.

    Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as "Pele", scored his historic goal on Sept. 19, 1969, in a match of his Santos club against Vasco da Gama from Rio de Janeiro. Santos won the game 2-1 and Pele scored in a penalty.

    Justus, presenter of a local TV channel, bought Pele's ball by 60,000 reals (30,000 U.S. dollars) in an auction organized in 2005.

    According to Globonews, Justus wants to collect money for his foundation "Movement You Can Help" dedicated to socio-environmental problems.
