Liverpool Confirms £226,995 Raised for Jota and Silva Grassroots Programme

The club will channel the proceeds into an LFC Foundation programme honoring the brothers.

Overview

  • Supporters generated the total through Jota shirt printing and official commemorative T-shirt purchases, with all profits directed to the LFC Foundation.
  • The foundation will use the funds to establish and maintain a grassroots football programme, with further details to be announced.
  • Thousands of floral tributes left at Anfield will be composted for use across club sites including Anfield, the AXA Training Centre and AXA Melwood.
  • Non-floral artefacts from the tributes will be recycled by specialists into a permanent memorial sculpture that will serve as a focal point at Anfield.
  • A temporary reflection area remains at the stadium for visitors to pay their respects, and Jota’s No. 20 has been retired across all club levels.
