Overview

  • Liverpool will commission a permanent bronze sculpture of Diogo Jota outside Anfield and maintain a temporary shrine until it is unveiled.
  • The club has officially retired Jota’s No. 20 shirt across its first team, women’s side, and academy as a mark of respect.
  • New jerseys launching August 1 will feature a specially designed “Forever 20” emblem with all sales proceeds funding youth football programs.
  • Flowers, scarves, and jerseys left by fans at Anfield are being composted or recycled to enrich club grounds and contribute to the sculpture’s creation.
  • A fan mosaic and minute of silence ceremony is set for Liverpool’s first home Premier League match on August 15 against AFC Bournemouth.
