One of the most famous balls in football history has been put up for auction again. The Adidas Azteca ball used in the match between the national teams of Argentina and England in the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup has been put up for sale. The publication "My Seldon" reported this.
With this very ball, Diego Maradona scored the two most famous goals in football history. One of them is the "hand of God goal," and the second is the one later recognized as the "Goal of the Century."
Despite nearly 40 years having passed, the ball has not lost its value due to its historical significance. The auction sales will start at $2.5 million on July 31. The organizers expect it to sell for $10 million or even more.
This ball was sold for $2.37 million in 2022. If it is purchased at a high price this time as well, it could become a football relic sold for more than Maradona's jersey from that same match.
For football fans, this ball is not just a sports item, but a unique collectible associated with one of the greatest moments in world football history.
