Liverpool FC has released images of a permanent memorial at Anfield in honour of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, following their tragic passing last July.
The memorial, titled ‘Forever 20’, celebrates their lives, their bond, and the love and respect felt by family, teammates and supporters across the world.
A Lasting Tribute at Anfield
At the centre of the memorial is a flowing heart sculpture, in acknowledgement of Diogo’s iconic goal celebration. The sculpture also reveals the numbers 20 and 30, which adorned the back of the brothers’ playing shirts, when viewed from different angles.
It will also feature the lyrics to Jota’s famous song so beloved by Liverpool fans – one they still sing at every game on the 20th minute.
The club will provide further updates on when the sculpture will be officially unveiled but can confirm it will be positioned on 97 Avenue.
Incorporating Fan Tributes
Thousands of physical tributes – including flowers, scarves, works of art, cards, banners and opposition jerseys – were placed to create a poignant tribute area in the immediate aftermath of their loss. The sculpture will stand on a Granby Rock‑faced stone plinth, laser‑engraved with a dedication to both brothers.
Incorporated into the plinth itself are many of the physical tributes that were left at Anfield. This unique recycling process ensures the voices and emotions shared by fans at the time become a permanent and enduring part of this memorial.
More Than Just Football
The memorial will also include personal references that reflect Diogo’s life beyond football – including a games controller detail resting on the plinth. It will serve as a permanent symbol of love, unity and remembrance, and a place where everyone can reflect, remember and pay their respects.
