The parents of the late footballer Diogo Jota, Joaquim and Isabel Silva, accompanied the Portugal national team in its debut at the 2026 World Cup, where images of the player were projected while their country’s anthem was being sung.

Despite the emotional tribute, Portugal’s national team was unable to secure the victory in its match against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, drawing 1-1 and leaving doubts about the performance shown by Cristiano Ronaldo’s team.
