Chapecoense has launched a goalkeeper jersey in tribute to Torino. Just like Chape, the Italian club suffered an air accident in the past.

Torino’s accident occurred in 1949 and became known as the “Superga tragedy.” The plane crash in Turin resulted in 31 deaths.

Meanwhile, Chapecoense’s accident happened in 2016, in Colombia, with 71 fatalities. Chape was set to play the final of the Copa Sudamericana against Atlético Nacional.

“Between Chapecó and Turin, history unites us,” says Chape’s post.

“The new Chapecoense goalkeeper jersey for the 2026 season is a tribute to Torino, carrying in every detail the colors, the memory, and the respect for a club that has become a brother,” says the text.

“More than a uniform, it is a symbol of solidarity, of shared values, and the certainty that football also builds bonds that time never erases,” concludes Chape.
