Barcelona and Boca Juniors have agreed that they will play a friendly match in honor of Argentine legend Dieto Armando Maradona.

The spectacle will take place on December 14 this year in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, said the Argentine football club.

- This will be the first time the two clubs for which Diego played to meet in that country and in that way we will pay tribute to the idol who left us on November 25, 2020 - reads the statement of the team from Buenos Aires.

Maradona wore the Boca jersey in 1981/82 and from 1995 to 1997 when he said goodbye, while playing for Barça from 1982 to 1984.

In his club career, Maradona also defended the colors of Argentinos Juniors, Napoli, Sevilla and Newell's Old Boys, and with the Argentine national team won the world title in 1986.
