US EditionAt Wimbledon, Portuguese Tennis Players Pay Tribute to Diogo Jota with Black Ribbon
SOUTH-WEST LONDON, JUL 3 – Francisco Cabral wore a black ribbon at Wimbledon after officials eased the 148-year-old all-white dress code to honor Diogo Jota, who scored 65 goals for Liverpool, officials said.
- During his second-round doubles match at Wimbledon on Friday, Portuguese tennis player Francisco Cabral paid tribute to the late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota by displaying a black ribbon on his shirt.
- Diogo Jota, a 28-year-old footballer, lost his life along with his sibling Andre Silva in a car accident on Thursday in northern Spain while they were en route to board a ferry to the UK ahead of the upcoming pre-season.
- The All England Club eased its usual requirement for players to wear only white attire to permit gestures honoring Jota, although Cabral’s appeal to wear a black armband was declined, leading him to don a black ribbon instead.
- Cabral expressed his condolences to Jota’s family, highlighting the significant impact Jota had both in sports and personally. Additionally, Liverpool supporter Neal Skupski mentioned he might wear a black armband later in the tournament as a tribute.
- Jota’s death drew emotional reactions including from former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, and Cabral’s tribute suggests a significant impact on the sports world and Portugal.
