Buenos Aires, November 25 (UNA): Argentina marked the first anniversary of the death of soccer legend Diego Maradona on Thursday with festivities, tributes, murals and emotional messages on social media.
Maradona died of a heart attack at the age of 60 after undergoing brain surgery two weeks ago. Seven health professionals who used to star in the star are facing criminal charges after a medical report said Maradona had not received proper treatment.
“The world was more terrible a year ago because you are not here,” Dalma, Maradona’s eldest daughter, wrote on Instagram.
Maradona’s youngest son, 8-year-old Diego Fernando, visited his father’s grave in the Jardin de Bella Vista private cemetery.
“I came and Digitto said hello to his father,” his mother, Veronica Ojeda, told reporters.
Raul Alfredo, one of Maradona’s brothers, visited the grave of the World Cup winner, who played for Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Naples, Seville and Newell’s Old Boys. Maradona’s four sisters attended a religious service.
The Argentine national team also celebrated the occasion on social media with a message: “It has been one year since I became immortal.
we will never forget you.”
The country’s soccer federation has said the next round of the domestic tournament will take place after players jointly form a number 10 on the pitch before each match.
Fans also gathered to pay tribute to the great Argentine.
