Chelsea will use their prize money from the Club World Cup to make a generous donation to the family of Diogo Jota.

The Blues beat Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the competition on July 13 and have decided to put some of the money towards honouring Jota and Andre Silva.

Jota and his brother tragically died in a car crash in Spain in early July in an accident that plunged the football world into mourning.



The Liverpool forward was 28 years old and had recently married his partner with whom he shares three children, while Silva was just 25 at the time of his death.

Chelsea’s triumph at the Club World Cup came amid the backdrop of tragedy, with winger Pedro Neto particularly affected, having played alongside Jota at Wolves and with Portugal.

He dedicated their win over PSG to Jota and Chelsea have now made the incredible decision to donate money to the bereaved family.

The Athletic reports that the decision was made between the club and the players to donate some of their prize money to Jota’s family.

Chelsea earned around £84million for winning the competition and a £11.4m fund has been distributed equally between the players who featured in the tournament, giving each player around £368,000.

The club and players have now decided that an equal payment will also be made to Jota’s family.

Arne Slot’s players will also have a “Forever 20” emblem on their shirts for the 2025/26 season.

The club have said that profits from shirts with "Diogo J 20" will go to the LFC Foundation, the club's charity.
