The funeral service is scheduled for Saturday morning at the Capela de Ressurreição Church. 

The two players died in a tragic accident on the A-52 highway near Spain's Zamora. The crash occurred when the tire of their Lamborghini burst while overtaking another vehicle, causing the car to veer off and catch fire before emergency teams could reach the scene.
