Legendary footballer Pelé has partnered with Shell to unveil a first-of-its-kind community football pitch in a Rio de Janeiro favela, which uses the movements of the players by converting their kinetic energy to renewable electricity that powers the floodlights, creating a safe community space at night.

Pelé commented 'This new pitch shows the extraordinary things possible when science and sport come together. The Morro da Mineira community will now be able to use this sports facility as a safe gathering place'.
