The Qatar World Cup will be the first without legendary Argentine star Diego Maradona, who died in 2020. This week, the world's largest Maradona mural was inaugurated on the side of a 14-story building in Buenos Aires.
Argentina also won the World Cup in 1978, but Maradona didn’t make the team for that tournament.
“His absence will be felt, Diego was always a star. In all the World Cups he did his own thing, inside and outside the field,” Ron said. “And in Qatar, he will sadly not be there.”Days earlier, the Argentine soccer association received the original Matthäus’ donation was a sort of reparation for Argentina after it failed to win an auction for the jersey Maradona wore in the match against England in the quarterfinals of that World Cup tournament. An unknown bidder from outside the country bought the iconic item at auction for a record $9 million in May.In 1994, Maradona played his last World Cup match against Nigeria in the group stage. He was suspended for 15 months following the 2-1 victory after a positive doping test.
