RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Santos and the New York Cosmos, two clubs made famous by Brazil legend Pele, are set to meet in a pre-season friendly in January.
The match will be played in Miami on January 22 and will feature three-time World Cup-winner Pele as the guest of honor, according to Globoesporte.
Santos are hoping to use the match as a warmup fixture for the Copa Libertadores, which is expected to begin in early February.
Pele represented Santos from 1956 to 1974 before ending his career with a three-year spell at the Cosmos.
The Cosmos currently play in the NASL, considered US football's second tier behind MLS.
