The tragic news from Spain about the death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has reached UEFA's headquarters, where an official statement was released.
Details: UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin expressed his condolences to Jota's family and his brother André Silva, recalling how just three weeks ago he awarded Diogo a UEFA Nations League gold medal. In addition, all of today's Women's Euro 2025 matches will begin with a minute of silence.
Quote: “Just three weeks ago, I had the honor of presenting Diogo Jota with a medal after the UEFA Nations League final—a moment of joy, pride, and celebration that will now forever be tinged with sadness.
His passion, energy, and spirit on the pitch inspired everyone around him. It is heartbreaking to realize that a life so full of joy and promise was cut short so soon. Rest in peace, dear Diogo. You will not be forgotten,” reads the UEFA press release.
