Overview

• Liverpool’s season opener at Anfield featured a minute’s silence, giant mosaics and banners, and a stirring rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” with Jota’s wife, Rute, and their three children in attendance.
• The club has retired Jota’s No. 20 shirt across all teams, introduced a “Forever 20” emblem for this season and plans recurring 20-minute tributes at every home match.
• Liverpool released a special matchday programme and commemorative t-shirt honouring Jota, directing all t-shirt profits to the LFC Foundation’s grassroots football initiative in his name.
• Chelsea and its players pledged a share of their Club World Cup bonus—over $500,000 before deductions—to support the family of Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva.
• Spanish Guardia Civil investigators continue to examine tyre fragments and vehicle speed data from the July 3 crash without issuing a public conclusion.
