The organization of the America Cup 2021 provided an emotional tribute to Diego Armando Maradona, in the preview of the match between the Argentina Selection Y Chile in Brazil.
The Nilton Santos stadium in Rio de Janeiro was dressed in light blue and white to honor Diez, who died on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60.
The show featured amazing audiovisual resources, music, technology and fireworks.
DIEGO’S PASSAGE THROUGH THE AMERICA CUP
Maradona played three editions of the CONMEBOL Copa América (1979, 1987 and 1989), in which he totaled 12 games and 4 goals.
His most outstanding work in the oldest tournament on the continent was in 1987, when the contest was played precisely in Argentina and the “10” scored three goals in the four games he played. La Albiceleste took 4th place in that edition.
