Calls Grow for Liverpool to Retire Diogo Jota’s No. 20 Shirt

Liverpool fans are urging the club to retire the number 20 shirt in honour of Diogo Jota, who tragically died earlier this week at the age of 28.

The Portuguese forward wore the number throughout his four-year spell at Anfield, helping the team to major honours, including last season’s Premier League title.

Since the news of his death broke, emotional tributes have poured in, with some supporters now calling for a permanent gesture to preserve his legacy.

The idea of retiring his shirt number has gained traction across social media, where fans have been sharing clips of Jota’s goals, celebrations, and big-game moments in red.

If Liverpool were to retire the number 20 shirt, it would be the first time in the club’s history.

While rare in football, retiring shirt numbers as a tribute isn’t without precedent in the Premier League.

West Ham famously retired Bobby Moore’s number 6 in 2008, and Manchester City withdrew number 23 after Marc-Vivien Foé died in 2003 while playing for Cameroon.

Jota’s iconic image—kneeling on the pitch, arms to the sky in his number 20 shirt after clinching the 2025 league title—has come to symbolise what he meant to the club and fans alike.
