EA Sports has officially announced that the FC Pro World Championship Trophy has been renamed the Diogo Jota FC Pro World Championship Trophy. The announcement was made on July 3, 2026, marking the one-year anniversary of the Portuguese footballer's tragic passing. The decision was made with the blessing of Jota's family to honor his legacy both on the pitch and within the gaming community.
Diogo Jota was well-known for his passion for EA SPORTS FC, extending his love for the game beyond casual play by founding his own esports team and competing at a high level. The newly named trophy will be lifted for the first time at the FC Pro World Championship later this summer. EA Sports also stated that they will continue to work closely with Jota's family on future tributes to ensure his impact on the sport and the esports world is remembered.
