Named the “M10 Memorial,” the site will open in Puerto Madero in 2025 and is anticipated to welcome around 1 million visitors annually. Maradona’s daughter, Dalma Maradona, shared her hopes for a place where fans can honor her father’s memory. Entry will be free for Argentine citizens.

Diego Maradona passed away in November 2020 at the age of 60 due to a heart attack, while recovering from brain surgery. Although the cause was deemed natural, an investigation is ongoing into possible negligence by his medical team.
