Overview

  • At Wolves’ Premier League opener against Manchester City on August 16 fans at Molineux unfurled an enormous tifo, laid floral tributes and rose in a minute-long ovation in the 18th minute with Jota’s widow and parents in attendance.
  • Rúben Neves joined the ceremony alongside Jota’s family after serving as a pallbearer at the forward’s funeral, highlighting his close bond with the club and player.
  • Liverpool supporters honored Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva with ‘DJ 20’ and ‘AS 30’ mosaics at Anfield, observed a moment of silence and chanted the striker’s name in the 20th minute as the club retired his No. 20 shirt across all levels.
  • On his Bayern Munich debut in the DFL Supercup Luis Díaz scored and mimicked Jota’s video-game celebration to pay tribute to his former Liverpool teammate.
  • Wolves have inducted Jota into their Hall of Fame and will convert selected floral tributes into a permanent memorial at the club museum as part of enduring legacy initiatives.
