Commonly recognised as the greatest soccer player in history, the Brazilian hero joins a list of athletes with champion pedigrees, including Michael Phelps, Apolo Ohno, Nastia Liukin, Ryan Howard and Justin Tuck, who eat at, and work with, Subway Restaurants.
Pele will appear in various advertising and in-restaurant promotional campaigns throughout a multi-year relationship with the brand in the US and around the globe.
With more than 39,700 Subway locations in over 102 countries, Subway Restaurants is the largest restaurant chain in the world, boasting more than 1,000 locations in Pele’s native Brazil.
“Futbol is the global sport and Pele is the preeminent player of all time,” said Tony Pace, Subway global chief marketing officer. “It’s great to have him as part of the Subway brand around the world.”
