Diogo Jota, a forward for the Liverpool team and the Portugal national team, and his brother Andre Silva, who was also a football player, died in a car accident. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This tragic news was expressed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. I am deeply saddened by the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva.
Despite being only 28 years old, Jota already had an impressive career. Many bright years were ahead of him.
His brother Andre had achieved great success at the "Panafiell" club. All who knew them and the entire football community will miss them dearly.
On behalf of FIFA and the entire football family, I express that our thoughts are with their family members and friends, as well as with the "Liverpool," "Panafiell" clubs, and the Portugal Football Federation. May Diogo and Andre rest in peace.
Diogo Jota won the English Premier League last season with Liverpool and also triumphed in three cup competitions in previous years. A video has circulated from the scene of the accident, in which Diogo Jota was killed.
This incident has caused deep sorrow in the world of football.
