The ball was not calm after the death of the king!The portrait of Maradona triggered a lawsuit, the game and the Naples jersey have been removed

Diego Maradona is one of the greatest football players in history, but because of a legal dispute, EA has now removed it from FIFA 22.

In addition to EA, the Naples Club, which Old Ma once played, also defeated in the portrait lawsuit of the five children of Maradona, who had passed away, and was banned from using Maradona's image on the jersey.

Who is the right of a superstar? It is indeed a topic. Is there any power or a lawyer or the children of the king?

Three parties compete for ownership

In the past two years, the legendary star Maradona has been chaotic in the past two years, chaos has continued, and children are competing for heritage. Seven medical staff have been sued for murder, and many institutions are competing for Maradona's trademark rights.

EA previously reached an agreement with Maradona's former agent Stefano Cezesey. However, Cecil cannot prove that he has a legitimate right to sign the agreement.

At the end of last year, the Argentine court acknowledged that Maradona's trademark owner was actually Satvica, a company where Martias Mora was located. Mora was a lawyer of Maradona and obtained the ownership of Malanda portrait in August last year.

However, Maradona's two daughters still filed a lawsuit with lawyer Mora to capture Maradona's portrait rights.

EA officials said that due to third -party legal disputes, they must remove Maradona in the model of FIFA FUT, and his iconic items will not appear in the game. They are as regrettable as fans, hoping that they can bring this great star back to the game at some time in the future.

During his lifetime, the king Maradona bombarded Konami in his personal Facebook unauthorized use of his portrait in "Live Football 2017" and said that he would solve this end through legal means. Later, he only appeared in the EA game. However, due to the dispute of portrait rights, all football gamers can now see Maradona.

Low selling portrait rights harm feelings

Like FIFA22, who had been forced to remove Maradona's content before, Naples and EA companies purchased Maradona's global portrait rights from the old horse's agent Cecil, with an authorized fee of 230,000 euros. But the players claimed that they had never agreed to use these images and won the lawsuit in the lawsuit.

In November last year, in order to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of the king of Maradona, Naples and jersey sponsors jointly launched the Maradona Memorial Retry.

The front of the jersey showed the Fingerprint of Maradona, which symbolizes the spirit of inheriting Maradona. Naples's official website wrote, "The purpose of our special jersey is to commemorate the solid relationship between Maradona, his beloved Argentina, and Maradona and Naples. At that time, we wanted Maradona You can see this jersey with your own eyes, maybe you can still celebrate the victory with us. "

可马拉多纳的儿女们认为，那不勒斯把马拉多纳的形象印刷在球衣上，这对他们造成了严重的精神伤害和经济损失，于是他们把经纪人塞西告上了法庭，并向It proposed a compensation of 150,000 euros.

According to statistics, Naples sold a total of 6,000 jerseys with a Maradona image at 150 euros per piece, which means that the club has received a total of 900,000 euros. However, the price of Sisi selling Maradona's portrait is only 2,2500 euros.

The judge believes that selling Maradona's portrait rights at such a low price has caused great harm to his heirs. Maradona signed an agreement in August 2020, and his children could get 50%of the Maradona portrait.
