Diego Maradona quiz — FAQ

Which clubs did Diego Maradona play for?

Maradona began at Argentinos Juniors (1976-81), then Boca Juniors (1981-82), before a world-record move to Barcelona (1982-84). His most storied spell came at Napoli (1984-91), where he won two Serie A titles and the UEFA Cup. He later played for Sevilla (1992-93), Newell's Old Boys (1993) and returned to Boca Juniors (1995-97) to close out his career.

What did Maradona win, and did he win a Ballon d'Or?

His crowning achievement was the 1986 World Cup, where he also took the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player, plus a runners-up medal in 1990. At Napoli he won two Serie A titles (1986-87, 1989-90), the 1989 UEFA Cup, a Coppa Italia and a Supercoppa. He never won a competitive Ballon d'Or — it was European-players-only through his peak — but France Football awarded him an honorary Golden Ball in 1995.

Is the Maradona quiz free to play?

Yes. The sample set on this page is completely free to play in your browser with no sign-up and no download. If you want more, the full Ball IQ app has 4,000+ questions across players, clubs and competitions, plus daily challenges and multiplayer modes.

How hard is the Maradona quiz?

It climbs from easy to hard. Openers cover the headlines — the 1986 World Cup, Napoli, the Hand of God — while later questions test transfer fees, dates, cap and goal totals and the finer details of his managers and era. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so it rewards you whether you're a casual fan or a completist.

About the Diego Maradona quiz

Diego Maradona is football's ultimate lightning rod — the flawed, fearless genius who dragged whole teams to glory on the strength of his left foot alone. This free Maradona quiz runs the whole arc: the teenage prodigy who broke into the Argentinos Juniors side ten days before his 16th birthday, the Boca Juniors idol who won the 1981 Metropolitano, the record-breaking move to Barcelona in 1982, the seven unforgettable years at Napoli where he turned a mid-table southern club into champions of Italy, and the late stops at Sevilla, Newell's Old Boys and a homecoming at Boca. Crowning it all: dragging Argentina to the 1986 World Cup almost single-handedly. If you know which club Barcelona signed him from, this quiz is for you.

The defining hour came on 22 June 1986 at the Azteca, in a World Cup quarter-final against England charged with post-Falklands tension. Within four minutes Maradona produced both the sublime and the scandalous — first the 'Hand of God', punched past Peter Shilton, then the 'Goal of the Century', a 60-yard slalom past half the England team that FIFA's own 2002 poll would crown the greatest goal in World Cup history. He lifted the trophy and the Golden Ball as the tournament's finest player. At Napoli he was even more transformative: two Serie A titles (1986-87 and 1989-90), the 1989 UEFA Cup and a Coppa Italia — the only league titles in the club's history until 2023. Note one quirk of the era: Maradona never won a competitive Ballon d'Or, which stayed European-only for most of his peak; France Football handed him an honorary Golden Ball in 1995 to correct the record.

Expect the full spread. Easy opener: which country did Maradona captain to World Cup glory in 1986? Mid-range: name the two clubs he broke the world transfer record with, first in 1982 and again in 1984. Harder: the quiz digs into the fees, the managers, the numbers — his 34 goals in 91 caps across four World Cups, the 1990 final defeat to West Germany, his second spell at Boca, and the shirt number that became inseparable from his name. Transfers, records, iconic moments and the men who built the teams around him all get their turn.

Every question comes with a short explained answer, so you finish knowing more than when you started — the story behind the fee, the date, the record. Play the sample set below free in your browser, no sign-up. And if it grabs you, the full Ball IQ app has 4,000+ questions plus daily challenges and multiplayer.
