JAKARTA - All Spanish League matches taking place this weekend, both in the highest caste and the Segunda Division, will begin with a minute's silence in honor of the late Diego Maradona.

"A moment of silence will take place before the start of the match week 11 of the Spanish League and week 15 of the Segunda Division, as a sincere tribute to Diego Maradona," wrote La Liga, operator of the Spanish League's two highest caste, on its official website on Thursday.

"This is a form of our condolences to family, colleagues and all football fans around the world who remember his passing," read the same statement.

Maradona spent at least three years of his career in the Spanish league with Barcelona in 1982-1984 and Sevilla in the 1993/94 season.

In Spain, Maradona won three trophies with Barcelona, namely the 1982/83 King's Cup, the 1983 League Cup (the competition was abolished after 1986) and the 1983 Spanish Super Cup.

Maradona died at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack in Tigre, north of Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday.
