Maradona's "Hand Of God" Ball Set To Be Auctioned For N1.5 Billion by ogbiwa: 9:37pm On Oct 17, 2022
The ball used by Diego Maradona to score two of the most famous goals in football history is to go on auction.

The match ball used in the famous 1986 World Cup quarter final between England and Argentina carries an estimated price of £2.5m to £3m.

It is being sold by Ali Bin Nasser, the Tunisian referee who allowed Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal during the game.

Bin Nasser said: "This ball is part of football history - it is the right time to be sharing it with the world."

The ball is being sold at auction on 16 November as part of a World Cup special event. It will be streamed live and prospective buyers can register their bids online from 28 October.

"The timing of the match, the history between the two teams and the handball have all led to this match going down as one of the most famous and emotive matches in football history," said Graham Budd, chairman of Graham Budd Auctions.

"With the history surrounding the ball, we are expecting this lot to be hugely popular when it comes up for auction."

Several items of sporting memorabilia have broken records at auctions recently. The shirt Maradona wore during the 1986 quarter final was sold in May for $9.3m (£7.4m), a new world record.

This was beaten just three months later when a Mickey Mantle baseball card sold for $12.6m (£10.3m) in August.

In September, Michael Jordan's 1998 NBA finals jersey sold for $10.1 (£8.7m), a new world record for any 'game worn' sporting memorabilia.

Funny thing is that in that same match, Maradona scored probably the best solo goal in the history of football, but that goal has become overshadowed forever by the controversial hand of god goal. Don't underestimate the power of controversy in marketing. Some artistes who always have "beef" with other artistes just around the period they want to release new album, be wise before you jump on every beef train

That’s simply football business and the main reason why everyone is chasing fame
When u have big fame in a large market like football, u would be a business blessing to your family and others even when u are gone
The same way that mj cliques are auctioning his past aesthetics for more money
The likes of cr7 n messi too would get such recognition even after football bcoz people will always buy them

Another covert deal..


There's the air of superiority surrounding the bidders particularly the highest bidder but we know it's a way of laundering funds..
