The football world is still mourning the devastating loss of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who tragically passed away in a car accident in Spain. Now, Liverpool FC, where Jota played since 2020, is preparing to honor his memory in a meaningful way at Anfield.

THE CLUB’S STATEMENT: A TRIBUTE AT THE RIGHT TIME

So far, Liverpool’s leadership has decided to give the player's family time and space to grieve. In an official statement signed by Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes, the club assured fans that “a fitting tribute” will be held when the time is right.

“It is our responsibility to understand the collective grief we are all feeling, to honor Diogo accordingly, and to provide unconditional support to his family,” the statement read. The club emphasized that the family’s privacy will be fully respected during this period.

WHAT CAN FANS EXPECT IN THE COMING DAYS?

While no specific details have been announced yet, the club has made it clear that Jota, affectionately referred to as “our beloved No. 20,” will be honored with the dignity, love, and respect he deserves. The Reds also highlighted that this tragedy transcends the club, touching the entire football community.
