Supporters raise more than £225k for community programme in Diogo Jota's name

Since the brothers’ devastating passing in July, fans have paid tribute by having Diogo’s name printed on the back of their shirts or by purchasing commemorative T-shirts from club stores.

All profits have gone to LFC Foundation, the club’s official charity, which is committed to creating a grassroots football programme in Diogo’s name.

So far, a total of £226,995 has been raised, which will go directly to establishing and maintaining the community programme, with further details to be shared in due course.

Liverpool FC will create other permanent tributes, with the thousands of floral tributes left at Anfield to be composted and used in flower beds across all club sites, including Anfield, the AXA Training Centre and AXA Melwood Training Centre.

The remaining artefacts will be recycled by a specialist company and used to help create a permanent memorial sculpture that will become a future focal point of remembrance at Anfield.

A temporary area of reflection remains at the stadium so that visitors can continue to pay their respects.
