Argentina is going to face Italy in the Maradona Super Cup game.
His autopsy revealed that Maradona died in his sleep from acute pulmonary edema, a build-up of fluid in the lungs, linked to congestive heart failure.
In 1995 he returned after being suspended for a season and stayed until the end of the 97-98 season, when he announced his retirement.
However, the match will be held before the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
For better or for worse, the match also propelled Maradona towards superstardom, casting him as the game's most compelling anti-hero.
But there was a bigger picture and back in Argentina, Maradona still had the support of his people.
