October 30, 1960 is a date that marked the history of Argentina and world football: that day Diego Armando Maradona was born, a legendary champion, an icon capable of making millions of fans dream. Today, Maradona would have turned 64, and his absence since November 25, 2020 is still deeply felt.
The Argentine Football Federation (AFA) remembered him with words that echo the greatness of his legacy: “Today is a special day for our football, a date we will never forget. On October 30, 1960, at the Evita Hospital in Lanús, Diego Armando Maradona was born. El 10, El Diego, El Pelusa, from Fiorito to the entire world”.
The AFA has retraced the crucial stages of the career of Maradona, which began in 1976 with Argentinos Juniors, then moving on to Boca Juniors, Barcelona and Napoli, until the legendary victory of the 1986 World Cup with Argentina. “Diego was the symbol of Argentina in the world, a heroic captain who, with his magical left foot, made our football great. Maradona is in our memories every day, and he will be forever.”
