Sale of Maradona's Golden Ball Trophy Postponed Amid Legal Dispute

French auction house delays auction following a court ruling and ongoing investigation into the trophy's ownership.

French auction house Aguttes has postponed the sale of Diego Maradona's Golden Ball trophy due to an ongoing judicial investigation and ownership dispute.
Maradona's heirs claim the trophy was stolen and have lodged an appeal against a French court ruling allowing the auction to proceed.
The Golden Ball, awarded to Maradona for his performance in the 1986 World Cup, disappeared for decades before resurfacing in 2016.
The current owner of the trophy maintains he was unaware it had been stolen when he purchased it.
A new auction date has yet to be set as legal and ownership issues remain unresolved.
