Auctioning the Shirt Diego Maradona Wore in 1982 World Cup - Bidding hit An Incredible Price

After Maradona's death, the site Futbolasta auctions the shirt that Maradona wore in the 1982 World Cup.

Maradona's death continues being news in the world. Thousands of tributes were made during the week in many cities. Stadiums, buildings, streets were the places where people chose to pay tribute one of the best players in history. However for some the death of Maradona means the opportunity to do business.

The site Futbolasta is auctioning the shirt that Maradona wore in his first World Cup: Spain 1982. The creator of Futbolasta said that “The base price is USD25, 000” and that “he did not modify it even though Diego died. Because he had already communicated it and he has respect for his death”.

The man told that “Many interested are already contacting me” and he added that “He think it can sell for between $ 60,000 and $ 80,000. Although with the Boca shirt we thought we would sell it for USD15,000 and it sold for more than USD34,000. The creator of Futbolasta finished with these words “It is the most important auction of my life”.

Maradona played four World Cups. He won one (Mexico 1986) and reached the final in another (Italy 1990). He also played in the United States 1994 where he was expelled for doping. Maradona is an idol in Argentina but also in Napoli where the team from that city will change the name of his stadium next week. From that moment, the stadium will be called “Diego Armando Maradona”.
