I te tau 1994, i tohua a Pele hei Kaikauwhau Manaakitanga a UNESCO. I te tau 1995, i tohua e te Perehitini o Brazil a Fernando Henrique Cardoso a Pele hei Minita Motuhake mo te Taakaro. I tenei wa i whakaarohia e ia he ture hei whakaiti i te pirau i roto i te whutupaoro o Brazil, i mohiotia ko te "Pelé law". I wehe a Pelé i tana tūranga i te tau 2001 i muri i tana whakapae mo te whakauru ki te taupatupatu i tahaetia ai te $ 700,000 mai i te UNICEF. I kii ko te moni i hoatu ki te kamupene a Pelé mo te whakataetae painga kaore i whakahokia mai i muri i te whakakore, ahakoa kaore he mea i whakamatautauria, a ka whakakahoretia e UNICEF. I te 1997, i whakawhiwhia ia ki te rangatira honore mai i te Kuini Elizabeth II i tetahi huihuinga i Buckingham Palace. I awhina ano a Pele ki te whakatuwhera i te 2006 FIFA World Cup, me te mutunga o te supermodel Claudia Schiffer. Patai: He aha te honore i whakawhiwhia ki a Pele i te 1995?
