D10S Maradona, a play on the Spanish word for God and the number 10 the Argentine wore, will be available to play from November 17.

The iconic attacking midfielder won the World Cup in 1986 and scored 259 goals throughout his career.

D10S Maradona features images and symbols inspired by Maradona’s 491-game career.

Lauren Bradley, head of commercial at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Maradona is another huge brand that we’ve been entrusted with, and I have no doubt our development team will once again craft a slot that treats a globally loved icon with the utmost attention to detail and authenticity.

"D10S Maradona will be launched ahead of the biggest sporting event on the calendar and represents a fantastic opportunity for operators to make the most of the global football fever.

“It’s a title we’re incredibly excited about and a licence we’re honoured to be working on.”

Matías Morla, Maradona brand agent, added: “We had no hesitation in agreeing on the partnership and we thoroughly look forward to seeing the game launch featuring the greatest player of all time and an Argentinian legend.”

Maradona was also a two-time winner of Italy’s Serie A top flight and won FIFA’s Goal of the Century award in 2002.
