Former and boyhood club, Gondomar SC, of late Liverpool player, Diogo Jota and FC Penafiel's Andre Silva have honoured them with a special kit for the 2025-26 season for the two brothers.

The tribute kit by Gondomar SC was officially announced on August 3 via the club’s Instagram account and other social media platforms.

The club posted images of the new 2025–26 home, away, and third kits, each featuring large portraits of Diogo Jota and André Silva on the front, with their names appearing on the back beneath an infinity symbol, symbolising eternal remembrance.

The caption of the post read,

“Our new jersey brings in the great image of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, two sons of Gondomar who left us too soon, but who will live forever in the history of our club and our football. Every time our athletes put on this jersey, it’s like stepping on the field with them".

According to Gondomar SC, though the goal of football, as many perceive, is just notching goals and earning victories, they explain it as one that goes beyond this.

“Because football is more than victories and goals, it’s legacy, it’s family, it’s love for our land.”

The fourth-tier Portuguese side added: “More than a jersey, a tribute eternal.

The move comes after the brothers were killed in a tragic car crash on July 3 in the Spanish province of Zamora in the early hours of Thursday, July 3, at approximately 12:35 a.m. local time.

Gondomar SC isn't the only club that has honoured the brothers, but Jota's club Liverpool also, in early July formally announced that they will retire the number 20 shirt in honour of late forward Diogo Jota.

The Reds announced this on their X platform yesterday, Friday, July 11, after consulting with Jota's wife Rute Cardoso and his family, which means the Portugal international "will forever be Liverpool's number 20".

In a statement released by Liverpool, it noted that the number "will be retired in honour and memory of Diogo across all levels", including the women's team and throughout the academy.

They added: "The move is recognition of not only the immeasurable contribution our lad from Portugal made to the Reds' on-pitch successes over the last five years, but also the profound personal impact he had on his team-mates, colleagues and supporters and the everlasting connections he built with them."

Marking their 20th top-flight crown, they reiterated their commitment to retiring the jersey. And in a video shared on X at 20:20 BST on Friday, they wrote,

"As a club, we were all acutely aware of the sentiment of our supporters - and we felt the same way," said Fenway Sports Group's chief executive of football, Michael Edwards.

"It was vitally important to us to involve Diogo's wife, Rute, and his family in the decision and to ensure they were the first to know of our intention.

"I believe this is the first time in Liverpool's history that such an honour has been bestowed upon an individual. Therefore, we can say this is a unique tribute to a uniquely wonderful person.

"By retiring this squad number, we are making it eternal - and therefore never to be forgotten."

The 20th top-flight crown means that a football team has won its national top division league title for the 20th time in its history.

The funeral of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, was held on July 5 at 10 a.m. local time in the Portuguese town of Gondomar.

According to reports from ESPN, the funeral was held at the Matriz de Gondomar church, located 33 kilometres from Porto.

There was a wake from 4 p.m. local time on Friday.The bodies of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva were sent to Gondomar, Portugal, on the night of Friday, July 4, just after 11:00 p.m. local time.

A convoy of hearses transported them from Puebla de Sanabria, Spain, near the site of the tragic crash, and they were met with quiet applause and mourning crowds outside the local chapel.

According to ESPN, as reported by Spain's Guardia Civil (Civil Guard). An investigation team reported that the two's accident occurred when they overtook a car, their tire blew, which led to their veering off the road and crashing into a barrier, and then immediately burst into flames.

The Spanish government official, Ángel Blanco, revealed that the car was completely burned and that the two players were inside the vehicle.

According to Miguel Gonçalves, a Portuguese physiotherapist who had recently treated Jota, the Liverpool forward had been advised to travel by car instead of flying after undergoing minor surgery on his right lung at the end of the season. Jota won the UEFA Nations League with Portugal last month.

Due to the severity of the fire, authorities had to use DNA testing and documents found in the wreckage to confirm their identities.

The brothers were reportedly en route to Santander to catch a ferry to the UK, as Jota had been advised not to fly following recent lung surgery.

Diogo recently got married two weeks ago to his long-term girlfriend, Rute Cardoso. He is survived by three children. Diogo Jota’s brother was a 25-year-old Penafiel player in the Portuguese 2nd League.

Tributes poured in to mourn the talented players.

Portuguese team player Ronaldo, who was shocked by the news, expressed his condolences to the bereaved family.

Liverpool noted that the club is devastated by the news and refused to make further comment at this time.

The club, however, requested the privacy of Diogo and Andre’s family, friends, teammates, and club staff be respected as they try to come to terms with an unimaginable loss.

The Portuguese football federation has paid tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva.

"The Portuguese Football Federation and all of Portuguese football are utterly devastated by the deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva this morning in Spain.
