The newest Diego Maradona museum lives inside a plane that will fly around Argentina before landing in Qatar for the World Cup

• An airplane that will act as a flying Diego Maradona museum has been unveiled in Argentina.
• It will tour Argentina, before visiting Barcelona, Naples, and eventually Qatar.

An airplane that will act as a flying museum in honor of the late soccer icon Diego Maradona has been unveiled in Argentina.

The Tango D10S, which has been financed by an Argentine fintech company, is to fly around his home country before eventually traveling to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup in November.

It will also visit Barcelona and Naples, where Maradona led Napoli to its only two Italian league titles in 1987 and 1990.

The plane features a picture of Maradona, who died of a heart attack in November 2020, kissing the World Cup trophy on the fuselage, while his face is also on the tail.

Each wing features artwork of both of his goals from Argentina's famous 2-1 victory over England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal.

On the left wing is a mural of his controversial "Hand of God" goal and on the right is a mural of his winning strike, which is widely regarded as the greatest goal of all time.

"I am mad about Maradona, one of those people who still watch videos of Diego before I go to sleep at night," Give and Get CEO Gaston Kolker told Reuters after the unveiling of the aircraft on Wednesday.

"When Maradona's teammates saw it, the World Cup winners from 1986, they were amazed, they were hypnotized."

Maradona's eldest daughter Dalma said: "We can't believe or understand this craziness, the love involved. How far will fans go? As far as a plane."

Fans will be able to board the aircraft and leave a message for Maradona in the cockpit and also see memorabilia from him and others players from the 1986 team.

One item that won't be on display, however, is Maradona's shirt from the match against England.

The jersey was recently sold at auction for $9.3 million by the former England midfielder Steve Hodge, who was given it by Maradona after the game.
