The Argentine Football Association (AFA) published in its media an emotional message in tribute to the 1,000 days of the death of the great national idol Diego Maradonawho died on November 25, 2020 as a result of cardiac decompensation caused by pulmonary edema at the age of 60.
“A thousand days after his death, this House and the entire world of soccer express their immense and endless affection for the great idol of Argentine and world soccer, Diego Armando Maradona”was the message that the AFA published on its social networks, accompanied by a photo of “Ten” during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
He also highlighted that under the hashtag #DiegoEterno “thousands of users from different social networks also published messages of recognition, nostalgia and love for the emblem and star.”
Maradona spent his last years in Argentina, where he directed Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata until his death.
“Her figure, emblematic and immaculate, always inspires and is the beacon that illuminates this wonderful game that all Argentines embrace. Her memory remains intact and will remain forever,” added AFA in its tribute to one of the most important soccer players in the entire history and who, until the appearance of Lionel Messi, was the absolute idol of the country.
Maradona died at the age of 60 at his home in Dique Luján, in Tigre, after a cardiac decompensation due to pulmonary edema.
A few days before the fateful event, he had been hospitalized for a picture of anemia and depression and underwent surgery for a subdural hematoma on his head, in addition to the complications caused by a gastric bypass that was performed in 2005, for which he underwent surgery in 2019. .
The imposing mural in Villa Fiorito
An imposing mural of Maradona was inaugurated a little over a week ago in the “Paddock of D10S” in Villa Fiorito, the neighborhood where the soccer star was born, in the middle of a solidarity event held for Children’s Day.
Under the motto “in the D10S neighborhood there can be no hungry kids”, a series of organizations that make up “Solidaridad Maradoneana” carried out the day that included musical shows and the distribution of toys for the children who said they were present in the pasture, while a snack was also provided at the end of the festivities.
