Hand of God ball up for auction
The ball used by Diego Maradona to score his famous "Hand of God" goal in the 1986 World Cup is up for auction in the United States, with estimates suggesting it could sell for over $10 million. The ball is linked to a historic moment in football history, when Maradona scored the hand goal illegally during the quarter-final match against England, and he later confirmed that the goal was "a little bit by the Hand of God." The auction house predicts the starting bid will be $2.5 million, with the possibility of reaching a figure in the eight digits, considering the significance of this historic event and the controversy surrounding the match. This piece is considered one of the most prominent pieces of football legacy connected to World Cup memories and is also remembered alongside Maradona's famous quote about the goal.
