Football legend Diego Maradona dies at 60

SANAA, Nov. 25 (YPA) – Diego Maradona, anti-imperialist, socialist and arguably the greatest football player of all time passed away on Wednesday at the age of 60.

Maradona was a leftist on the football fields and also in politics.

As a football player he tirelessly fought against corruption in the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), which he compared to a mafia.

He struggled to unionize football players and in the late 90s, Maradona, with other prominent stars, formed the International Association of Professional Football Players to defend players’ rights.
