Maradona's historic ball sells for 3 million euros

The "Adidas Azteca" ball used by Diego Maradona to score the infamous hand of God goal and his famous goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals has been sold for 3 million euros (approximately 3.35 million dollars) through global auctions. The ball belonged to Tunisian referee Ali Ben Nasser, who officiated the match for 30 years before putting it up for sale in 2022. Authorities expected it to reach close to 10 million dollars, although the current sale price fell short of those expectations. This item is considered one of the most significant moments in football history, especially because it is linked to a renowned act of cheating and the "Goal of the Century" scored by Maradona after dribbling past five English players. The ball is unique as it serves as a reminder of a pivotal moment and has no known precedents, making it one of the most important historical artifacts related to the sport.
