'pele played' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'emergency message about a theatre' is the wordplay.
'emergency message' becomes 'sos' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'theatre' becomes 'nt' (National Theatre).
'a'+'nt'='ant'
'sos' going around 'ant' is 'SANTOS'.

'where' is the link.
