Chelsea Players to Donate Club World Cup Winnings to Jota’s Family

Chelsea’s donation underscores solidarity within football, highlighted by Liverpool’s planned Anfield mosaic tribute alongside a season-opening minute of silence leaguewide.

Overview

  • After their FIFA Club World Cup triumph in the United States yielded Chelsea a €14 million prize, players have pledged to match their €430,000 bonuses with donations to the family of Diogo Jota and his brother André.
  • The Premier League will hold a minute of silence before every match on the first day of the 2025–26 season in honor of the two brothers.
  • Liverpool FC will unveil a commemorative mosaic at Anfield ahead of its opener against Bournemouth and has retired Jota’s No. 20 jersey across its men’s, youth and women’s squads.
  • Liverpool has also fulfilled its contractual obligations by paying out the remaining terms of Jota’s contract to his estate as part of its ongoing support.
  • Spanish Guardia Civil and forensic teams continue examining tyre fragments and vehicle data in the unresolved investigation into the July crash that killed Diogo and André.
