The Portuguese national football team has announced a unique tribute to honor the memory of Diogo Jota, who passed away last year. During all matches, the team will carry a special acknowledgment of Jota’s presence, who is being symbolically included as the “27th player” for the tournament. In remembrance of the former player, the Portuguese squad has adopted a special gesture throughout the championship.
The players will wear specially designed bracelets on their wrists for every game.

This tribute serves as a visible and ongoing way for the team to pay respect to Jota. The incorporation of this special element into the team’s presentation underscores the collective memory and respect held by the Portuguese squad for their fallen teammate. The gesture is expected to resonate with football fans globally, connecting the current team’s performance with the enduring memory of Diogo Jota.
