Chelsea, 2025 FIFA Club World Cup champions, will donate part of their earnings to the family of Diogo Jota and André Silva, who died in a car accident in Zamora. A gesture that moves the football world.

Chelsea will use a portion of their Club World Cup bonuses paid to players to make a financial donation to the families of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva. The Blues emerged as unlikely winners of the US-hosted tournament back in July, defeating Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain in the final with a 3-0 victory.

Jota and his brother died in a car accident in Spain on July 3, 10 days prior to Chelsea's Club World Cup final victory.

The scars left by the tragic deaths of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva are still raw. Two brothers, both from Gondomar in the eastern part of Porto, who brought joy on and off the pitch, were taken far too soon in a car crash on July 3rd. The footballing world mourns, still struggling to process the scale of this loss.

The decision was made jointly between the Stamford Bridge club and the members of Enzo Maresca’s squad, with the west Londoners earning £84.4m from winning the FIFA tournament in the United States, equating to just over £368,000 per player.

Saturday was a day of strong emotions for the family and former teammates of Diogo Jota as Molineux rose as one to remember their lost son, husband and friend.
