Soccer legend Diego Maradona’s iconic ‘Hand Of God’ shirt has sold for a whopping $9.3 million

The shirt was worn by Maradona in the World Cup game against England in 1986, and it is now the most expensive jersey ever sold.

The ‘Hand Of God’ title is given to the game because of an unforgettable performance from Maradona, where he also claimed the goal of the century.

The record-breaking sale has smashed that of any sports memorabilia item, in an online auction.

The iconic blue jersey went to an anonymous buyer and was previously owned by Former England midfielder Steve Hodge.

Hodge was given the jersey in an exchange with Maradona after the renowned game.

Leading up to the auction, sports fans and collectors were eager to get their hands on the famous shirt.

Some say it’s arguably the most desired football shirt to ever reach auction, so the hefty price tag is worth its while.

“This historic shirt is a tangible reminder of an important moment not only in the history of sports, but in the history of the 20th century,”
“In the weeks since we announced the auction we have been inundated by sports fans and collectors alike, with a palpable excitement in the air for the duration of the public exhibition — and this unfiltered enthusiasm was echoed in the bidding.
“This is arguably the most coveted football shirt to ever come to auction, and so it is fitting that it now holds the auction record for any object of its kind.”
Brahm Wachter, Sotheby’s Head of Streetwear and Modern Collectables

This sale tops the list of sports memorabilia. The next highest was the original autograph manuscript of the Olympics Manifesto from 1892, which sold for $8.8 million in 2019.

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.

Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.

While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.

The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.
