Argentinean Lionel Messi will lead a group of stars who will play a “for peace” match in honor of his late compatriot Diego Maradona on the 14th of next month in Rome, according to a statement from the organizers.
In addition to the current Paris Saint-Germain French star and the former Barcelona, there will be former and current big stars such as Brazilian Ronaldinho, Italian goalkeeper, 2006 world champion Gianluigi Buffon or Roma’s Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho.
A special video was published on this occasion last Monday, October 10, to represent 10-10, in honor of the number 10 shirt that Maradona wore during his career, nicknamed “El Ultimo Dies”, meaning the last number 10.
Maradona, winner of the 1986 World Cup, died in November 2020 at the age of 60 due to heart failure.
The match will take place on November 14 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, less than a week before the start of the 2022 World Cup on the 20th.
