Maradona's 'Hand of God' ball auctions for $10 million

The iconic soccer ball used by Diego Maradona during the 1986 World Cup is set to be auctioned in Dallas from August 21-23. Heritage Auctions estimates its value at $10 million, driven by the ball's historical significance, having been used to score both the controversial 'Hand of God' goal and the celebrated 'Goal of the Century.' As of Wednesday, bids have reached $2.5 million. The auction follows the $9.2 million sale of Maradona's jersey from the same match last year, heightening interest in soccer memorabilia ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
