Place and time of the funeral service for the fatally crashed Portuguese international Diogo Jota and his brother have now been determined.
The Portuguese international from FC Liverpool, Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident, and his brother André Silva are buried on Saturday. The funeral service was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. local time (11:00 a.m. CEST) in the parish church of its home town of Gondomar near Porto, reported the State Portuguese news agency Lusa and the state TV broadcaster RTP and other media in the country.
Already on Friday afternoon the dead guard for the brothers could also begin. Diogo was 28 years old, his brother, who was also a footballer and was under contract with the Penafiel Portuguese second division club, was 25.
Jota, who was called Diogo José Teixeira da Silva with a full bourgeois name, and his brother had probably strayed from the road with her car on Thursday in the northern Spanish province of Zamora due to a burst tire. The car broke through a guardrail and caught fire. The two brothers had no chance.
The football world reacted shocked to death. Jota had just married his long -time girlfriend Rut Cardoso, with whom he had three children.
