Dalma Maradona’s Sweet Gesture and a Fun Night with Colin Farrell

Dalma Travels to the Argentina vs England Match

Just like thousands of Argentine soccer fans, Dalma Maradona traveled to the United States to enjoy the match between Argentina and England live and with full energy.

As soon as people on her flight recognized her, the trip turned into a non-stop party. Fans sang songs about her dad, and Dalma did something very special to give the love back.

What Happened on the Plane?

Here is the simple version of the plane story:

• Passengers started singing about Diego Maradona, remembering his amazing performance in 1986 against the same rival (England).
• Dalma got emotional because everyone on the plane loved her father so much.
• To return that love, she decided to raffle a soccer jersey (a shirt like the one players wear) among the passengers.

One passenger recorded the moment when the jersey winner was announced:

“Pérez, you won Diego’s jersey, let’s go. Congratulations,” said the man holding it.

Dalma stood next to him, covered her face with her hands, and tried not to cry from emotion.

To finish, the whole plane sang:

“Olé, olé, olé, Diego, Diego, Diego”

The account that posted the video wrote: “Beautiful plane,” with Argentine flag and World Cup ball emojis.

Important Point: Dalma Maradona is the daughter of Diego Maradona, a legendary Argentine soccer player known as “The Ten” (el Diez). Fans still love him deeply, even years later.

Dalma Remembers a Night with Colin Farrell

A few weeks before the plane trip, Dalma remembered her dad in another fun way.

This happened when actor Colin Farrell told a story on a TV show called After Hours (hosted by James Corden). Farrell said that a night in Buenos Aires with Diego Maradona also included “Diego’s daughter.”

Dalma saw that and replied on her Instagram stories:

“Very nice story, but pay attention when he says: ‘His daughter was there’ (me). Technically he remembers me.”

Dalma’s Funny Instagram Posts

Dalma did not stop at one comment. She posted photos from that 2005 night with funny captions:

• In a group photo with her dad and Farrell, she wrote: “Dad, can you move? I’m taking a photo with my boyfriend?”
• In another photo with just Farrell, she wrote: “It really shows,” and below: “Very in love with me.”

Her followers answered a lot, and Dalma reposted their replies with her own comments.

How the Night with Farrell Started

Here is the backstory in easy steps:

1. In 2005, Colin Farrell was filming a movie called Miami Vice in Uruguay.
2. The filming was delayed by one week, so his father (Ayrman Farrell) and he had free time.
3. Farrell always wanted to visit Buenos Aires because of Diego Maradona and the 1986 World Cup (Mexico 86).
4. He told his dad: “Why don’t we go to Buenos Aires and eat some meat?”

The Night at the Club

The evening began with dinner at a restaurant and then moved to a nightclub (a place to dance). There, they met Maradona by surprise.

Farrell described it like this:

• He was in a corner when he heard noise at the entrance.
• He saw lights, cameras, and 15–20 people moving back toward him.
• The lights went out, and then Maradona appeared — a “poetic genius” of about 1.65 meters (around 5 feet 4 inches).

The famous moment was:

• Farrell talked with Maradona.
• Farrell wore Diego’s jersey.
• They kissed on the mouth (as a funny, friendly gesture), and this photo went around the world.

Farrell joked:

“What a night! One of the best nights of my life. When you meet your hero, gender doesn’t matter.”

But Farrell did not explain the “side story” at the same table — and that is the part Dalma later completed with her posts.
