Maradona, Bolivia president play soccer charity match_English_Xinhua: "LIMA, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Bolivian president Evo Morales and Argentine soccer celebrity Diego Armando Maradona played a charity game in Bolivia's administrative capital La Paz on Monday to raise money for flood-hit Bolivians, according to news reaching here on Monday.

The match, at the Hernan Siles Suazo Stadium, at 3,600 meters above sea level, also served to protest the sport's governing body's decision to restrict international soccer matches to venues below 2,750 meters above sea level, which bars most of Bolivia."
