“This was the stadium where Maradona scored the famous “Hand of God” goal against England during the 1986 World Cup, before producing what many still call the “Goal of the Century” in the very same match. Having admired Diego Maradona for so many years, being able to stand inside the stadium where those unforgettable moments happened was something I will never forget. Football history suddenly felt much closer”
“You know what was the quality of Croatia back then? We never surrender; we never give up. And we loved playing against a strong national team! What was there for us to lose? Nothing! We beat Italy, we beat Germany, we beat England, we beat all the big teams. Then again, all these started young in Croatia. And that’s also what I wanted to do: motivate all the young players to be proud of their country. The moment they touch their football crest or flag on their chest, singing the National Anthem out loud, it’s the country pride they have to play for. In that 1998 World Cup, we showed just that”
“The Hand of God is an ethical and sustainable fashion brand with a football theme designed and hand-printed in Barcelona. It is run by Sebastian and Gemma, a passionate couple with a love for football poetry and Maradona. We had the pleasure of talking with them, and they gave us a better understanding of the brand”
