In a release issued from the media office of the ministry, the minister said Maradona paved a formidable track for many footballers with his dazzling skills and creativity during his playing days.
“He was a phenomenal player, a rare gem of the round leather game. Diego Armando Maradona will remain one of the greats. No doubt, football and the entire world of sports have lost one of its greatest resourceful and enigmatic players”.
