Three-times World Cup winner Pele was taken to hospital with a urinary infection earlier this week, but his condition has now worsened and he has been transferred to intensive care.
The 74-year old former Brazil player is in the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo.
Widely regarded as the finest player to play the game, he had an operation to remove kidney stones earlier this month.
He won three World Cups as a player and was named "Football Player of the Century" by FIFA, "Athlete of the Century" by the International Olympic Committee, and a "national treasure" by Brazil's government.
