Diego Maradona’s Legacy to Live On with Memorial Site and Foundation
The legacy of football legend Diego Maradona will continue to inspire generations to come, as his children have announced the launch of a foundation and the creation of a memorial site in his honor.
The “M10 Memorial” is scheduled to open in 2025 in the heart of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The 1,000-square-meter site will be a place for fans to pay tribute to the iconic player and learn about his life and career.
“We want our father to be close to the love of the people, and to grant the wish of all those who want to bring him a flower,” said Maradona’s daughter, Dalma.
Access to the memorial will be free for Argentines, while donations to the Maradona Foundation will allow visitors to place their photo on a “heritage wall.” The foundation, chaired by Dalma and four of Maradona’s other children, aims to preserve his legacy and support charitable causes.
The memorial site will also house Maradona’s remains, which were recently transferred from a cemetery to a mausoleum. This will allow locals and tourists to visit the resting place of “Argentina’s great idol.”
Maradona, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 60, is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. His exceptional skills and charismatic personality left an indelible mark on the sport.
The memorial site and foundation will serve as a testament to Maradona’s enduring legacy and the love and admiration he continues to inspire.
