Torino have unveiled the special jersey they will wear tonight against Atalanta, in memory of the Chapecoense players killed in a plane crash.

The tragedy rocked world football a year ago when the Brazilian team’s plane crashed on their way to Colombia for the Copa Libertadores Final.

It was particularly painful for Torino, who saw their greatest ever squad killed in the Superga air disaster on May 5, 1949.

The shirt is green, representing the Chapecoense colours, and a limited edition of 1,500 will be on sale with part of the proceeds donated to families of the victims of the crash.

It also features Torino’s symbol, the bull, bowed in mourning.

“Toro and Chape, united by fate, friends forever.”
