Martinez has auctioned the gloves used in the World Cup final with his autograph to France, and the money will be donated to children with cancer.
The gloves were sold for a total of 42 thousand euros, which will be donated to the pediatric oncology department at the “Juan Garrahan” Hospital in Buenos Aires.
When the Argentina Foundation asked me to donate my gloves, I did not hesitate. You don't play a World Cup final every day, it's special.
But it is far more important to help a child than to keep my gloves in a box at home”,- Martinez said in his words after the donation.
