Nanterre, France: Diego Maradona's heirs on Thursday lost their legal bid in France to block the sale of the Argentine football legend's 'Golden Ball' trophy from the 1986 Mexico World Cup.
The trophy given to the tournament's best player had been missing for decades before being found by an antique dealer in the French capital.
It is due to be sold by Aguttes auction house in Neuilly-sur-Seine, near Paris, on June 6.
According to the Maradona family, the trophy given to their father in November 1986 at the Lido Cabaret in Paris was stolen during a bank robbery three years later in Naples.
On Thursday, a court in Nanterre, outside Paris, found that the heirs "did not present any criminal proceedings that would have been filed by the footballer during his lifetime".
