The funeral of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, will take place on Saturday at 10 a.m. local time in the Portuguese town of Gondomar.
The brothers were killed in a car crash near Zamora, Spain, on Thursday.
ESPN can confirm that the funeral will be held at the Matriz de Gondomar church, located 33 kilometres from Porto. A wake will take place from 4 p.m. local time on Friday.
Family and friends of the brothers have gathered Friday at a church where their bodies have been brought. Some hugged and wept before entering the Capela da Ressurreição São Cosme, where the funeral for the siblings is planned for Saturday.
The two bodies arrived in hearses just before midnight to Gondomar, Silva and Jota’s birthplace, and were met with applause by local residents.
