Trent Alexander-Arnold’s tribute to Diogo Jota:
“My mate Diogo. You are so missed but still so loved. Yours and Andre’s memory will always live on. I smile every time I think about you and will always remember the great times we shared. Miss you mate, every day. Love Trent and family. Forever 20. YNWA.”

An emotional Andy Robertson remembers Diogo Jota !
“I couldn’t get my mate Diogo Jota out my head today. He missed out in Qatar because of injury. I missed out because Scotland never went. We always discussed what it would be like going to this World Cup. I know he’ll be somewhere smiling over me tonight.”
I think this answers the question about whether it’s still affecting the players. Very emotional interview from Andy that
Tears are still never far away for me…
Well done Robbo. Well done..
Lump in my throat when Robbo spoke of Jota. It was hard enough for me…how hard must it be for the lads?
Me too
FFS, my eyes are welling up again.

Renewal between FC Porto and Luna Esports “eternizes the image of Diogo Jota”
FC Porto and Luna eSports, founded by Diogo Jota, renewed the partnership for two more seasons on Thursday, prolonging the connection started in October 2024. The agreement ensures the continuity of the FC Porto Luna eSports project, which will once again compete with men’s and women’s teams in the EA FC races organized by the Portuguese Football Federation and the Portugal League.
The renovation also introduces a symbolic element: the team’s official sweater will display, on its left sleeve, a badge that eternalizes the image of Diogo Jota. The Portuguese international, founder of Luna eSports, was one of the main drivers of the rapprochement between the club and the digital competitive universe, after having represented FC Porto in 2016/17.
FC Porto will assume much of the operational cost of the project, reinforcing the commitment to esports and consolidate the presence of the FC Porto brand in the digital ecosystem, a segment that continues to grow in followers and competitive relevance.
“FC Porto Luna eSports will compete with men’s and women’s teams in EA FC races organized by the Portuguese Football Federation and Liga Portugal. This renovation also brings an extra detail: the official shirt of FC Porto Luna eSports now includes a badge on the left sleeve that eternalizes the image of Diogo Jota, who was, as is known, one of the great drivers of this connection between his passion for eSports and the club that represented as a footballer in the 2016/17 season,” mentioned the blue and white club on the official website.
André Villas-Boas was proud. “It is the renewal of a winning partnership, which has delivered us many titles, with great pride for the porters. I thank Armando and Ruth for the generosity that we can continue to be partners in eSports. Luna represents what FC Porto represents, a team that wants to win, that wants to win. He spoke just now to Armando of the desire to bring to our international Cups the World Cup of eSports. Armando knows our demand and I’m sure this will be a winning partnership. Then there is all the emotional meaning, related to Diogo and what he represents to eSports, his great passion. We could not be more proud that Diogo’s family will allow us to take this step together,” he said.
“This modality is part of eclectic growth. We enter the era of modernity and eSPorts, which have an immense and increasingly growing audience. It is the continuation of the eclectic history of FC Porto on the digital road, but with the same pride and sense of victory. Objectives? We continue with that demand to Porto that Ruth and Armando know very well. We have already delivered titles to the Museum in both the male and the feminine, in individual and collective. We couldn’t be more proud,” he added.
Armando Vale, from Luna eSports, considered: “For us and also for FC Porto it has a very great importance this continuity, also for all the meaning that has behind it. And it is also important for the eSports landscape at the national level, where the impact is expected to be more immediate, although, as the president said, it is also expected to be beyond the national panorama. Goals are always to come in to win. That’s what we promised. That is the ambition with which we have entered for this season. We looked at all the competitions with the desire to want to win them, as happened last year, a time that bore a lot of fruit and was quite laughing for us. The same ambition, the same will. As long as it goes here we will be to try to deliver as many trophies as possible.”
Diogo Jota has not been forgotten. "Better than anyone, Diogo was a great ambassador of the sport. Because I passed this house, which tells you a lot, it would make perfect sense for the connection to continue. It will always be a reason for extra strength and something that, with each achievement, will make us proud a little more than because it is just, in quotation marks, another achievement.

The EA FC 26 will receive a new official kit from LUNA Esports, a team founded by Diogo Jota, and the design of the jersey will be a tribute to the player.
LUNA Esports today announced the addition of another kit to the Electronic Arts football game, FC 26. This jersey not only represents the team, but will also launch a tribute to the player who founded it, having in the design of the jersey the lyrics of the song that Liverpool fans used to chant in their honor: “His name is Diogo”.
The official accounts of the game have not yet made any official announcements, but the team has revealed that the Kit is already available in the game: “On FC 26, you can wear your legacy”.
This is no longer the first tribute paid within the game. In July, EA offered a trio of TIFOs, cheerleader choreographies, to all players with the kits used by the athlete in the clubs where it went.
The announcement comes months after the tragic news that shocked the world of sport and esports. Diogo Jota, one of the most talented and promising players of his generation, died in July this year, at the age of 28, due to a road accident in Zamora, Spain. The accident also took the life of his brother, André Silva, 26.
“His name is Diogo”
and we’ll never forget it.
Now in FC26, you can wear his legacy.

All of our love, thoughts and prayers continue to be with his wife Rute, his children, parents and all of his family and friends, as well as those of his brother, Andre.
Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 
Did the Jota song go round last night? I didn’t hear it.
Yes, but a bit half hearted. Are we planning a more permanent memorial for him? Possibly something in the museum?
