Diego Maradona's historic 1986 World Cup ball to be auctioned

Heritage Auctions will auction the Adidas Azteca ball used by Diego Maradona to score two legendary goals during the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal against England. The auction is scheduled for August 22, with expectations that the ball could sell for over $10 million. Maradona's first goal, famously called the 'Hand of God,' was followed by the 'Goal of the Century.' The ball was used throughout the match and subsequently owned by referee Ali Ben Nasser. He confirmed its authenticity in a signed letter before it sold for £2 million in 2022.
