Soccer Legend Maradona Credits Pope Francis for Renewing His Faith

The 55-year-old Maradona is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time and is joining some of the world’s other top players, including Brazilians Ronaldinho and Felipe Anderson as well as Italian player Francesco Totti, at the pope’s benefit soccer match to be held in Rome on Oct. 12.

“I am with Pope Francis, for him I am always available,” Maradona told a news conference this week.
