Iglesia Maradoniana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iglesia Maradoniana (English: Church of Maradona) is a parody religion created by fans of the retired Argentine football player Diego Maradona. It was founded on October 30 1990 (Maradona's 30th birthday) in the city of Rosario, and now reportedly counts 15,000 members. Maradona is said to be the best player of all time.
Supporters of the Church of Maradona, supposedly from all parts of the world, count the years since Maradona's birth in 1960. It is popular, among the followers of this religion (and also among other football fans), the use of the neo-Tetragrammaton D10S as one of the names of Maradona: D10S is a portmanteau word which fuses 10, Maradona's shirt number, and dios, the Spanish word for god.
