BROUGHT TO YOU BY…

Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.

In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.

Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written — one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Solana Token on Raydium, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

Maradona Became a Myth on this Day.

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

Maradona’s “Hand of God” – June 22, 1986
In a World Cup quarterfinal in Mexico City, Diego Maradona stunned the world, twice.

First with deception: a controversial goal scored with his hand, missed by the referee.
Then with brilliance: a second goal that became known as the “Goal of the Century.”

Argentina beat England 2–1 and eventually won the tournament. But Maradona’s legend exploded that day.

📌 Why This Matters

The “Hand of God” wasn’t just about a goal, it was about identity, politics, and redemption.

The match came just years after the Falklands War between Argentina and the UK. Tensions were still high.

For many Argentinians, beating England—by any means—was cathartic.

For everyone else, it raised the age-old question: Does greatness excuse a little cheating?

Maradona embodied this contradiction: divine talent and defiant edge.

A flawed hero. A footballing god. A global icon.

🧠 How Well Do You Know Diego Maradona and the Match That Made Him Immortal?

Today’s quiz explores one of football’s greatest players—and one of its most unforgettable moments.
