PORTUGUESE FOOTBALL FEDERATION
“We have lost two champions. The passing of Diogo and Andre Silva represents irreparable losses for Portuguese football, and we will do everything to honour their legacy daily.”
Playing for the Portuguese Football Federation, Diogo Jota won 49 senior caps and won the Nations League title twice, most recently last month.
GIANNI INFANTINO
“Aged just 28, Diogo had enjoyed a fantastic career to date and had many great years ahead of him, while his brother Andre was thriving at FC Penafiel – they will both be so sorely missed by all those who knew them and by the worldwide football community.”
Gianni Infantino has been the FIFA president since 2016.
