Argentine football legend, Diego Maradona was reportedly denied a visa by the US for a family holiday to the Disney world.

According to the Sun, Maradona pleaded his case in person to the US embassy in Dubai but was again refused.

Described as a 'political decision', Maradona's relationship with the US has never been cordial, especially for the reason that he is friends with US enemies like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez among others, a source said.

The source added that the US denial was a bit of a kick in the teeth for Maradona as the family were really excited about the holiday which was actually a treat for his grandson Benjamin, the report said.
