Jota's Widow Sends World Cup Letter to Robertson
10 Jun
Summary
- Diogo Jota's widow sent a special letter to Robertson before the World Cup.
- Robertson will play in the FIFA World Cup, a dream he shared with Jota.
- Scotland qualified for their first World Cup since 1998.
The memory of Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away on July 3 of the previous year, has resurfaced with Robertson receiving a special letter. The message came from Jota's widow, Rute Cardoso, as Robertson prepared to take the field with Scotland for the FIFA World Cup. Both athletes harbored the aspiration of participating in their respective career World Cups, a dream that will now only be realized by the Tottenham left-back.
Diogo Jota would undoubtedly have been a key player for Portugal, who secured their qualification with ease. Meanwhile, Robertson's Scotland ended a six-edition drought by clinching their spot in the final round of qualification. Their last World Cup appearance was in France in 1998. Scotland is set to compete in Group C, facing Brazil and Morocco, opponents they also met in 1998. Haiti will be their other group stage opponent.
