The Portugal national team will wear special tribute bracelets throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup in memory of Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away last summer. The initiative comes from Portuguese Prime Minister Luís Montenegro, who personally gifted the custom accessories to the players and staff ahead of the tournament.
Each custom bracelet features the individual player's name alongside Diogo Jota's name, serving as a constant reminder of their late teammate. The squad is set to keep the bracelets on during all of their matches in the World Cup, honoring Jota's legacy on the biggest stage in international football.
