Women’s Euros: minutes silence for Diogo & Brother

The UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 match between Spain and Portugal, taking place this evening in Bern, Switzerland, will begin with a minute’s silence to honour the memory of Portuguese footballer Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva. The brothers tragically lost their lives in a car crash on July 3, 2025.

The Portuguese Football Federation requested the tribute, which will be observed during all Women’s Euro games scheduled on Thursday and Friday. UEFA confirmed that the moment will be observed as a tribute to the two brothers who have left a lasting mark on football.

Diogo Jota was a prominent forward in the Portuguese National Team and played for Liverpool. He earned over 50 caps, and his talent and sportsmanship were widely praised. His brother André Silva was also a professional footballer with a respected career. Both brothers are remembered for not just their football accomplishments, but also for their character and contribution to the sport. It is expected that the minute of silence will be a moving moment as players, fans and officials pay tribute to their legacy. Portugal’s Women’s Team has posted heartfelt messages to social media expressing their grief and solidarity.

Tonight’s match promises to be a poignant occasion, with the football community coming together to remember Diogo Jota and André Silva before the action on the pitch begins.
