Downtown Disney – Pelé is located right in the center of Downtown Disney, in the round courtyard. If you’re coming from the parks, keep to the left of the main path and you’ll see it just past Sprinkles. If you’re coming from the hotels side, turn right after Wonderground Gallery and you’ll see the shop ahead of you as the path curves.

Many Disney fans are also soccer fans, and Pelé is here to offer the best of both worlds in one trip. Stop by this location right in the center of Downtown Disney to get gear for your favorite team, including international teams like Arsenal or Barcelona.
SHOPPING TIPS
Pelé Soccer Shop is a very open retail space, so it rarely gets overly congested by shoppers. There’s no better or worse time to visit, and it tends to stay open later than some of the other shops in the district.
TRIVIA
The store’s name comes from Brazilian soccer legend Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known by his nickname, Pelé.
Pelé has four locations across the US – the Disneyland location, one in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World, one in Miami Beach, and one in New York City.
Before the soccer shop opened, this space briefly hosted Void, a 3D virtual reality experience.
