Football team Gondomar SC pays tribute to their fallen stars Jota and Silva by debuting a special commemorative kit in their next game.

Two former players of Gondomar SC, Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, will forever be remembered in the history of the club, following their tragic loss in a car accident in Spain. The Portuguese second division team has announced a series of tributes to honour their memory.

In a heartfelt statement, Gondomar SC emphasised the emotional connection they share with the brothers, stating, "Every time our athletes put on this jersey, it's like stepping on the field with them." The club further added, "More than a jersey, a tribute eternal."

The commemorative kit, dedicated to the late Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, will be launched for the upcoming 2025-26 season. Each shirt features the names of the brothers, along with an infinity symbol on the back. The club's home, away, and third jerseys have been adorned with images of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.

Gondomar SC's academy was named after Diogo Jota in 2022, celebrating his contributions to the sport. The club also expressed their sentiments on social media, stating that the new jersey brings in the great image of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva.

In a poignant gesture, Liverpool, where Diogo Jota was playing before his untimely death, plans to erect a memorial sculpture for both brothers. The Premier League club has retired the number 20 jersey in honour of Diogo Jota. Liverpool players will also wear a "Forever 20" emblem on their shirts in the next season.

However, a search for information about another team releasing a jersey in the 2025-26 season to honour Diogo Jota and Andre Silva from Gondomar did not yield any results.

Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, both aged 28 and 25 respectively, grew up in Gondomar, located near Porto. They started their football journey with the local team Penafil before joining Gondomar SC.

Football, for Gondomar SC, is more than victories and goals. It's legacy, it's family, it's love for their land. The club's statement continues, "Football is more than victories and goals, it's legacy, it's family, it's love for our land."

This tribute to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva serves as a reminder of the enduring impact these players had on their community and the beautiful game itself. Their memory will live on, not only in the hearts of their fans but also on the field, through the jerseys of Gondomar SC and Liverpool.
