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.”

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.

Australia has been confirmed as the host of the 2027 men’s and 2029 women’s Rugby World Cups.

It will be the first time that the country has hosted a Rugby World Cup match since 2003.

The tournament is set to generate over $1.5 billion for the nation’s economy, and attract over 200,000 international visitors.

None of the previous nine editions of the women’s tournament have been held in Australia.

Josh Lambo alleges head coach Urban Meyer “kicked him in the leg and used profanity to insult and warn him to make his kicks” during a pre-game practice last year.

Lambo claims the coach screamed, “hey dipshit make your fucking kicks” while kicking him. Lambo then replied, “don’t ever kick me again.” 

Coach Meyer responded, “I’m the head ball coach, I’ll kick you whenever I want.”

Meyer also claims Meyer conducted and “initiated a pattern of harassment, and created a hostile work environment.” 

The former NFL player claims he told the team about the incident, through his agent, but an investigation was never launched.

Now, Lambo has filed the lawsuit in a Florida Court seeking back pay of his 3.5 million dollar salary for 2021, plus damages for emotional distress.

Coach Meyer has denied the claims and says they’re “inaccurate” and there are eyewitnesses to prove it.

The Nepalese single mother, Lhakpa Sherpa was born in a cave, has had no formal education and worked as a cleaner.

She says it was a dream to climb the world’s tallest mountain for the first time. But is proud to have changed Sherpa-culture since then.

During her first few expeditions, she used to plant the Nepalese flag at the summit. This time was a little different though, she was carrying the U.S. flag.

Lhakpa Sherpa now lives in the U.S. state of Connecticut with their two daughters and has a son from a previous relationship.

She last made the trek in 2018.
