The funerals of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his younger brother, André Filipe Teixeira da Silva, have been scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday in Gondomar, a town near Porto in northern Portugal.

Earlier, local priest Father José Manuel Macedo had announced that the services would take place at 4 p.m. on Friday. However, the timing was later shifted to Saturday morning due to minor delays in paperwork related to repatriation, as the family was still in Spain as of Thursday evening.

A wake will be held at São Cosme Chapel, followed by a funeral Mass at Igreja Matriz de Gondomar, the town’s main Catholic church. Gondomar holds special significance for Jota, who began his football career at a local club in the area and is believed to have met his wife there.

It has not been confirmed whether the ceremonies will be private or open to the public.

The tragic deaths of the brothers in a car accident near Zamora, Spain, have led to an outpouring of tributes from the football world. Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, club legend Sir Kenny Dalglish, and current manager Arne Slot were among many who expressed their condolences.

Liverpool players also paid tribute. Alexis Mac Allister wrote on Instagram: “I can’t believe it. I will always remember your smiles, your anger, your intelligence, your companionship and everything that made you who you were. It hurts a lot, we will miss you. Rest in peace, dear Diogo.”

Dominik Szoboszlai added: “Words cannot describe how heartbroken and devastated we are. Your smile, your love for the game will never be forgotten. We will miss you so much, but you will stay with us forever, on and off the pitch. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Rest in peace, brother.”

Saturday’s funeral service will offer the football community and the public a final opportunity to say goodbye to the beloved Portuguese international and his brother.
