The ball used by Diego Maradona to score the controversial 'Hand of God' goal in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final against England was sold at auction for $3.35 million (approximately €2.87 million). The ball was expected to reach a price of $10 million but fell short of the estimate. The auction was held by Heritage Auctions in the US, with the starting price set at $2.5 million. The ball was kept by Tunisian referee Ali Bin Nasser for over three decades before being sold in 2022 for around $2.37 million. Maradona scored two goals in the match, with the second being later named the 'Goal of the Century'.
