The Portuguese Football Association reported the death of Diogo Jota.
It was on the afternoon of the 3rd that news of the incredible Jota's death came out. It was first reported in Marca, Spain. Everyone couldn't believe the news of Jota's death because she had a wedding two weeks ago and was enjoying a happy honeymoon.
Unfortunately, the news of Jota's death was true. Marca said 'The accident occurred 65 km from the Sanabria A-52 highway. Jota died after a fire broke out when a vehicle he was driving with his 26-year-old professional footballer, younger brother Andre, went off the road. The vehicle went up in flames, according to an eyewitness who called 112, explaining the situation at the time. Since then, all media, including Sky Sports and the BBC, have reported Jota's death. Even his younger brother, who was with him, died, adding to the sadness.
The Portuguese Football Association, where Jota plays for the national team, delivered the news of Jota's death with a tragic heart. The Portuguese soccer association announced the sad news, saying, `The whole Portuguese soccer community is deeply shocked and saddened by the sad news that Jota and his brother Andre Silva died early that day in Spain.'
Jota, who played nearly 50 games for the national team and was respected by all his teammates and opponents, was a better man than him. He was a model in the community with his bright energy. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Jota and Andre Silva and to the respective Liverpool F.C. and F.C. Penafiel clubs.
The Portuguese Football Association said it had asked the UEFA to observe a minute's silence at the Women's Euro 2025 tournament. Finally 'We lost two champions. The sudden separation of Diogo and Andre Silva is an irreversible loss for Portuguese football, and we will do our best to remember and honor their legacy every day'
Jota successfully settled on the Premier League stage at Wolverhampton before moving to Liverpool F.C. in 2020, marking a turning point in his career. Liverpool is also a popular club in Korea, so few soccer fans don't know Jota. He showed impressive scoring ability from the first season of his transfer to Liverpool and was loved by manager Jurgen Klopp through competition and rotation with Roberto Firmino.
He was an injury-prone player, but he was an indispensable and important player in Liverpool. After moving to Liverpool, he won the FA Cup, League Cup, and Premier League (EPL) championships, opening his heyday.
For Portugal, he played in more than 40 A matches and played in the Euros and World Cup stages. He was consistently called as a reliable option for the Portuguese striker. He contributed to winning the UEFA Nations League in 2025 in 2019. Liverpool and Portugal really lost a lot of power.
