Diogo Jota will be honored at a friendly between Porto and Atletico Madrid at the beginning of August.

The two European giants will meet at Estadio do Dragao in Portugal's second city in just over a fortnight's time, and Porto confirmed that late Liverpool forward Jota will be "the subject of a heartfelt tribute."

Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, passed away in a car crash on July 3 as the pair journeyed to the UK by road.



The pair died when the vehicle they were traveling in blew a tyre and came off the road as they traveled through Zamora, in north-western Spain.



The tragic accident sent the soccer world into mourning, with tributes paid from far and wide

The friendly between Porto and Atletico will take place on August 3 — exactly a month on from Jota's passing.

Jota joined Atletico from Pacos de Ferreira in 2016, but did not play a competitive game for the La Liga club, as he spent the 2016-17 season on loan at Porto, before being loaned to Wolves for the 2017-18 campaign; Jota completed a permanent move to Wolves in 2018.

Silva also spent time at Porto, joining the club's youth setup in 2011, where he spent six years before moving on to Pacos de Ferreira in 2017.

Last weekend, Preston put on a number of classy tributes as Liverpool contested its first game since the brothers' deaths, in a friendly at the Lancashire club's Deepdale Stadium.

A moving live performance of You’ll Never Walk Alone preceded kickoff, while a wreath was placed near the away supporters by the home team.

A minute's silence was also observed, while both sets of players wore black armbands.

After the final whistle, an emotional moment unfolded as Liverpool’s players, staff, and supporters came together as Jota's song was belted out by the thousands of Reds fans in attendance.

Understandably, some Liverpool fans were left sickened earlier this week after after copies of a special Jota tribute programme, produced by Preston for the friendly, started appearing on resale sites for lofty sums.

Fans in attendance at Sunday's game were invited to pick up a free copy of the 16-page program outside the ground, but some copies appeared on websites like eBay, with huge price tags.

One was listed at £75 ($100), while another listing had the program priced at £34 ($46)
