The ball that Argentine footballer Diego Maradona scored one of the greatest World Cup goals is going under the hammer.
The auction will be conducted by auctioneers Graham Budd and will take place on 16 November 2022.
Bidders will be able to register and bid online from 28 October 2022.
Earlier this year, the Argentina legend’s ‘Hand of God’ shirt sold for £7.1 million at auction on 4 May 2022.
The ball to be auctioned is from the 1986 World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and England.
The ball is being sold by Tunisian referee Ali Bin Nasser, who officiated the match.
This ball is part of international football history it feels like the right time to be sharing it with the world, Bin Nasser said.
I hope the buyer is in a position to put it on display or share it with the public in some other way.
The ball is expected to fetch about £3 million.
Maradona died from a heart attack at home in Buenos Aires on 25 November 2020.
