July 4th BBC reported that the FA will negotiate with Liverpool to commemorate Diogo Jota before the Community Shield.

The FA plans to discuss with Liverpool on the memorial service for Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva before the Community Shield Cup held at Wembley Stadium on August 10. After the brothers died in a car accident in Spain, the entire football world was immersed in grief.

As the traditional opening game of the new season, this year's Community Shield will be matched by Premier League champion Liverpool against FA Cup champion Crystal Palace. Given Liverpool's participation status, the FA intends to take this opportunity to commemorate Jota. It is understood that the organizer of the event will communicate with the participating clubs before determining the specific memorial plan.

The FA is used to mourning the deceased outstanding figures in football and other fields in England matches or domestic finals by wearing black veils and silence. However, for this commemoration event of Community Shield, the organizers will fully respect the opinions of Liverpool Club before finally determining the specific form of mourning the Jota brothers.
