At an auction, the gloves fetched 45,000 dollars, equivalent to 480,000 Swedish kronor.

The money is supposed to go to a hospital in Argentina that cares for children with cancer.

The gloves, which now have Martinez's autograph on the inside, helped Argentina win the World Cup gold last year after penalties against France.
