Liverpool to Retire Jota’s No. 20, Plan Memorial

Liverpool FC has announced a series of permanent tributes to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who died in a car accident on July 3. A memorial sculpture, created from fan tributes, will be installed at Anfield, and flowers will be composted for use across club sites. The club will retire Jota’s No. 20 shirt at all levels and players will wear a 'Forever 20' emblem on kits and jackets throughout the 2025/26 season. Fans can have 'Diogo J 20' printed on new shirts, with proceeds supporting the LFC Foundation’s grassroots football program in Jota’s name. Commemorations also include a fan mosaic and minute’s silence at the August 15 home game against Bournemouth, as well as tributes during pre-season matches in Asia. Liverpool is working with the Football Association to organize a tribute at the Community Shield, and temporary reflection areas remain open for public mourning.
