Chelsea Football Club and their players have made an extraordinary gesture by deciding to donate a significant portion of their Club World Cup prize money to the families of Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who tragically died in a car accident in July.

The decision comes after Chelsea’s triumphant 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which earned the club approximately $114.6 million in prize money.

From this windfall, Chelsea had allocated $15.5 million to be distributed equally among the players who participated in the tournament, with each player set to receive over $500,000.

However, in a joint decision between the club and its players according to the Athletic, Chelsea announced that an equal share of these bonuses will be donated to Jota’s family.

This means the family will receive approximately $500,000 from the bonus fund, representing an extraordinary  financial gesture from the London club.
