Diego Maradona’s Golden Ball trophy, awarded for being the best player at the 1986 World Cup, is set to be auctioned in France by the Aguttes auction house in June. This highly coveted trophy is the first of its kind to be put up for auction, with expectations of fetching millions on the June 6 auction date. Maradona, who passed away in 2020, secured the award after leading Argentina to victory in the World Cup held in Mexico, where he scored five goals and played every minute of the tournament.

One of the most memorable moments from the 1986 World Cup was Maradona’s two iconic goals against England in the quarterfinals. His first goal, famously known as the “Hand of God”, saw Maradona outsmarting England goalkeeper Peter Shilton with a raised fist. The second goal, known as the “Goal of the Century”, showcased Maradona’s incredible skill as he dribbled past five English outfield players from his own half. These historic moments solidified Maradona’s status as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Maradona’s jersey and the ball from the legendary match have previously been auctioned, further cementing his legacy in the world of football. Following his remarkable performance against England, Maradona continued to shine in the tournament, scoring two goals against Belgium in the semifinal, and ultimately leading Argentina to victory in a thrilling final against West Germany. The Golden Ball award, introduced at the 1982 World Cup, boasts an impressive list of winners including Paolo Rossi, Romario, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, and Lionel Messi.

Maradona’s Golden Ball trophy had gone missing before resurfacing among several trophy lots at an auction. The trophy has since been authenticated by Aguttes, after conducting an investigation into its provenance, confirming it as Maradona’s original Adidas Gold Ball trophy. This valuable piece of football history holds immense significance for fans and collectors alike, representing Maradona’s exceptional talent and contributions to the sport.

The upcoming auction of Maradona’s Golden Ball trophy provides a unique opportunity for fans to own a piece of football history and commemorate the legacy of one of the sport’s most iconic figures. The trophy serves as a reminder of Maradona’s extraordinary skill, passion, and impact on the world of football. As one of the most prestigious accolades in the sport, the Golden Ball trophy symbolizes excellence and recognizes the outstanding talents of players who have left a lasting mark on the beautiful game.

In conclusion, Diego Maradona’s Golden Ball trophy represents a pivotal moment in the football legend’s career, showcasing his exceptional talent and contributions to the sport. The upcoming auction of this historic trophy highlights the enduring legacy of Maradona and provides fans with a unique opportunity to own a piece of football history. As one of the most revered awards in football, the Golden Ball trophy serves as a symbol of excellence and celebrates the remarkable achievements of players who have made a lasting impact on the sport.
