Which Brazilian soccer legend won three World Cups?

• A. Pelé
• B. Romário
• C. Ronaldinho Gaúcho
• D. Kaká

Answer: (A)

Three World Cup wins by a single Brazilian is the key idea here, and Pelé is the only player to achieve that feat. He helped Brazil lift the trophy in 1958, 1962, and 1970, spanning youth breakout to legendary status across three different tournaments. His impact across those championships solidifies his place in history as the player with the three World Cup titles. The other players have World Cup medals, but none reached three titles—Romário won in 1994, while Ronaldinho Gaúcho and Kaká were part of the 2002 squad that won Brazil’s fifth, not a third title. So Pelé’s unique record is why he’s the correct answer.
