Liverpool have announced that the club’s iconic No. 20 shirt will be immortalised in tribute to their late forward, Diogo Jota.
The Reds confirmed the decision in an official statement published on their website on Thursday.
Jota tragically passed away at the age of 28 in a car accident in Spain, a crash that also claimed the life of his brother, Andre Silva.
According to the club, retiring the No. 20 jersey is a symbolic gesture to honour Jota’s crucial role in Liverpool’s 2024–2025 Premier League title win—their 20th English top-flight championship.
One of the most emotional highlights of Jota’s final season came in April, when his signature shimmy strike secured a derby win over Everton. It would be the last goal of his life—a fitting reminder of his impact on and off the pitch.
