About this experience

La Casa de D10S, the first home of Diego Armando Maradona and his family (1978-1980) in the City of Buenos Aires, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Paternal and a few meters from the stadium that today bears his name, of the Athletic Association Argentinos Juniors (AAAJ), the club of his origins and where he took his first steps as a professional soccer player. The home that Argentinos Junios gave Diego Maradona for his 18th birthday, was recovered, valued and recognized by the City Parliament, as a historic place and in homage to the best soccer player in history.
Also, on the days it is open, you can visit the sanctuary in homage to Diego Armando Maradona, which is located on the Argentinos Juniors court. The space, which was built in just one day, not only exhibits all the gifts that fans gave him after his death: the main attraction is the mural of Pelusa with the Bicho shirt that emulates an altar.

Detailed itinerary

La Paternal is a neighborhood located in the central-northwest part of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. It was founded in 1904 by a national decree.

Its name was due, for some, to the request of an Insurance Company "La Paternal", which owned many land in the area, where he built numerous houses for workers. Others think that the name was given by a grocery store, known because it stopped the carts that went to Luján passing the "road to Moreno".

The headquarters of the Asociación Atlético Argentinos Juniors, a centennial football club and champion of America that militates in the Argentine First Division is located in the neighborhood.

THE HOUSE OF D10S, THE FIRST OWN HOUSE OF DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA AND HIS FAMILY (1978-1980) IN THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES, IN THE PORTE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE PATERNAL AND ALREADY BASKET METERS OF THE STADIUM THAT TODAY CARRIES HIS NAME, OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ARGENTINOS JUNIORS (AAAJ), THE CLUB OF ITS ORIGINS AND WHERE HE GAVE HIS FIRST STEPS AS A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER.

It has a capacity for 26,000 people and is an Argentinos Juniors venue. The stadium is also recognized for being the place where Diego Armando Maradona made his debut in Argentine football.

It was named in honor of Diego Armando Maradona, who officially debuted on that pitch on Wednesday, October 20, 1976, at the age of 15, and played there for 5 years in the First Division, who is the second highest historical scorer in the club with 116 annotations.
