Liverpool Confirm Further Diogo Jota Tributes
Liverpool Football Club has announced several permanent tributes to honour the late forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who tragically passed away in a car accident on July 3, 2025.
A permanent memorial will be constructed at Anfield, serving as a lasting tribute to Jota's memory and impact on the club. Since the brothers' passing, thousands of flowers, scarves, cards, and banners have been laid at the stadium, creating a poignant memorial area that became a focal point for collective grief shared by fans, players, and staff alike. These physical tributes have now been carefully collected, with the family’s consultation, to be incorporated into the memorial at Anfield.
Additionally, Liverpool will retire the number 20 shirt permanently across all teams to mark Jota’s legacy. This gesture reinforces the club’s commitment to remembering the player both on and off the pitch. Moreover, for the 2025/26 season, Liverpool players will wear a commemorative emblem on their shirts as a mark of respect and remembrance.
The club expressed its heartfelt gratitude to the fans and community for the outpouring of love and support shown during this difficult time. Liverpool’s statement highlighted the importance of the memorial in helping the club, supporters, and the family come together to honour Diogo Jota and André Silva’s memory.
These tributes illustrate the profound impact Jota had at Liverpool, both as a talented forward and a cherished teammate, and ensure his legacy will endure at Anfield for years to come.
