On July 3rd, 2025, the world of football lost a true talent and a remarkable soul.
Diogo Jota, Liverpool FC and Portugal’s forward, tragically passed away in a car crash in Spain, alongside his younger brother André Silva. At The Collect Room, we are deeply saddened by this loss. Jota wasn’t just a footballer—he was a fighter, a fan favorite, and a symbol of passion on and off the pitch.
From his rise in Portugal to his success with Liverpool—helping secure the 2024–25 Premier League title—Jota played every game with heart. Off the field, he had just married and was a loving father of three. His journey ended far too soon, but his impact is eternal.
The outpouring of global tributes, from fans to teammates and even music legends, shows just how deeply he was loved.
As curators of sporting history, we have proudly showcased Diogo Jota’s memorabilia at our store in Dubai. Today, these items are more than collectibles—they are reminders of a legacy that lives on. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans around the world.
Rest in peace, Diogo and André. You’ll never walk alone.
