During the World Cup, Google and the Pelé Brand are launching a mini documentary called “The Most Beautiful Goal Ever Seen”: it tells the story of the legendary 'Gol da Rua Javari' scored by the Brazilian champion in 1959, which he himself called his most beautiful goal , but of which no video footage exists.

The goal was reconstructed using Google's artificial intelligence. "Working closely with Pelé's family, historians, and eyewitnesses, Google DeepMind used advanced AI models like Veo 3 and Gemini Omni to transform decades of memories and historical fragments into moving images . The mini-documentary, created to preserve Pelé's legacy, will be exhibited at the Pelé Museum later this year," a statement reads.

According to KK Walker, Creative Director of Google AI & Gemini, "The project is the result of a tremendous collaboration between historians, creatives, technology experts, and the Pelé Brand. As it's a visual reconstruction of a legendary moment, ensuring historical accuracy and authenticity was our primary goal from the very beginning."
