Maradona x COPA Argentina 1986 Away Retro Football Shirt

The Maradona x COPA Argentina 1986 Away Retro Football Shirt is a reproduction of the solid blue change kit Argentina wore at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, produced as part of the Diego Maradona x COPA collection. It features an embroidered Maradona portrait patch on the chest, a printed number 10 on the back, and a woven “Diego x COPA” neck tag, and arrives made in Europe and packed in a branded gift box.

The Hand of God and the Goal of the Century

Argentina normally played in their sky blue and white striped home shirt at the 1986 World Cup, but a color clash with England’s kit sent them out in this all-blue alternate for the quarter-final at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on June 22, 1986. Inside the first six minutes of the second half, Diego Maradona scored twice while wearing it. The first goal, in the 51st minute, went in off his fist – an act he later described as scored “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God,” giving the goal its enduring nickname.

Four minutes later he collected the ball inside his own half, beat five England players including goalkeeper Peter Shilton over roughly 60 yards, and slotted home what FIFA voted the Goal of the Century in a 2002 online poll. Argentina won the match 2-1, eliminating England, and went on to beat West Germany in the final to win their second World Cup, with Maradona named the tournament’s best player.

Product Details

This shirt reproduces the plain, sponsor-free blue jersey Argentina wore that day, with a white ringer collar and cuffs, an embroidered Maradona illustration and signature patch on the chest, and a bold white number 10 printed on the back in tribute to the man who wore it. Like the rest of the COPA Football retro range, it is cut to a relaxed, classic fit rather than the tighter cut of a modern match shirt, so shoppers used to current match jerseys should expect more room through the body and sleeves. That combination of detail and period-correct cut is what makes the Maradona x COPA Argentina 1986 Away Retro Football Shirt feel like an artifact rather than a costume-shop copy.

Care Instructions

Wash this shirt in cold water, turned inside out, and hang or lay it flat to dry rather than using a tumble dryer. This protects the printed number and embroidered patch. Avoid ironing directly over the graphics, and iron on a low setting from the inside if needed.

Who this shirt is for

This piece suits Argentina supporters, Maradona collectors, and anyone who wants a tangible piece of one of the most talked-about single performances in World Cup history. It sits alongside AMH Goods’ wider Maradona x COPA collection and the site’s broader Argentina and Retro categories.

A Shirt Tied to Football’s Most Debated Goal

Few single garments in football are attached to a more argued-over moment than this one. The same shirt, worn in the same match, carries both a goal still condemned as cheating by England fans and a goal still shown as an example of individual brilliance nearly forty years later. That contradiction is a large part of why the Maradona x COPA Argentina 1986 Away Retro Football Shirt remains one of the most requested pieces in COPA’s retro lineup.
