Honoring the Legacy of Diogo Jota

Through football, education, and hope, we carry forward the light he left behind — creating opportunity, joy, and lasting impact for the youth of Gondomar and beyond.

About the Diogo Jota Foundation

The Diogo Jota Foundation was conceived in 2025 with one goal: to celebrate Diogo’s incredible journey from a small youth academy in Gondomar to one of Europe’s most respected footballers—and to pay that spirit forward.
Born on December 4, 1996 in Gondomar, Portugal, Diogo grew up balancing school, family and football. Through hard work and community support, he earned a place in esteemed academies and rose through the ranks into professional and international football.
