SPORT24 changed the colors of its logo, while displaying the message "AD10S DIEGO". It was a small tribute to a man who was called God and was a reference point for the most popular sport on the planet, football.

Of course, SPORT24, having as its great and eternal weapon the immediate and valid information, did not stop producing topics related to Diego Armando Maradona and this was done through 100 and more texts, from VIDEO LIVE show, from Podcast "Zosimar" and of course from social media.
