Image Source: IANS News Buenos Aires, Feb 3 : Argentine football's Professional League Cup will cease to be called the Diego Maradona Cup because of possible legal action from heirs to the deceased legend's estate. The tournament adopted Maradona's name just days after the 1986 World Cup winner's death from a heart attack in November, reports Xinhua news agency. However, Argentine football officials decided to revert to the tournament's original name for fear of future lawsuits for the use of Maradona's name and image.
