Maradona's Hand of God ball sells below estimate
The famous football used by Diego Maradona to score his legendary goals against England in the 1986 World Cup was sold for $3.35 million at an auction organized by Heritage. This amount was below expectations despite its association with one of the most iconic moments in football history. The ball, which witnessed the "Hand of God" and the "Goal of the Century," did not reach the estimated value of $10 million, even though its price far exceeds that of the jersey Maradona wore in the same match, which sold for around $9.3 million in 2022. The auction house stated that this piece is the most significant memorabilia in football history and is part of a series of major sports collectibles setting world records.
