Rome, July 3 (LaPresse) – "The football world has been shaken by the news of the passing of Diogo Jota, the 28-year-old Liverpool and Portuguese national team forward, who was involved in a car accident along with his brother André (also a professional footballer). The FIGC and the Italian women’s team join in expressing condolences to the family and the Portuguese Football Federation. This morning, President Gabriele Gravina sent a message to his counterpart Pedro Proença, conveying the solidarity of Italian football." This is what the Italian Football Federation said in a note mourning the deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva following a car accident in Spain. At 9 PM, at EURO 2025, Portugal — drawn in the same group as Italy — will make their debut in the European Championship against Spain in Bern, with a minute of silence before today’s matches.
