United KingdomCristiano Ronaldo honored Diogo Jota, a former Portugal player who died in a car accident one year ago, by wearing a jersey with Jota's number during Portugal's 2-1 victory over Croatia in the 2026 World Cup. The match took place in Toronto, and Ronaldo led his teammates in a tribute gesture by holding up the jersey. The tribute included showing Jota's image on the stadium screen during the national anthem and a social media message from Ronaldo expressing support for Jota and Portugal. Jota, 28, died along with his younger brother Andre Silva in a car crash while traveling to Spain. The Portugal team has worn wristbands in honor of Jota throughout the tournament, and his parents attended the team's first game.
