Honoring the memory of Diego Maradona five years after his death

• Five years ago, the legend Diego Maradona left us, leaving a mark in football.
• Maradona's family continues to fight for justice after his death.
• Tributes to the memory of the footballer take place in various countries, including Argentina and Naples.

On November 25, 2025, it will be five years since the day of Diego Maradona's death, one of the greatest footballers in history. His death from heart failure, which occurred a few weeks after his 60th birthday, left a deep mark in the hearts of fans around the world.

On this day, fans again remember his contribution to football. For instance, the club Boca Juniors published a video, in which fans leave flowers by Maradona's statue at the "La Bombonera" stadium. The Argentine Football Association also honored his memory, stating that forgetting is the only thing that can lead to death.

Meanwhile, his family continues to fight for justice. The first court hearing regarding the medical assistance that Maradona received ended with a general statement about negligence, and a new trial will take place on March 17, 2026. Relatives assert that the death of their father could have been prevented and demand accountability from the medical personnel.

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of people gathered to pay tribute to Maradona, disregarding restrictions. The football genius left behind a legacy that continues to live through his countless admirers and new generations of players.

In memory of him, new memorials are being announced in Argentina, but due to legal disputes between his children, his remains are currently located in temporary burial. It is planned that their transfer to a new memorial in the center of Buenos Aires will take place.
