According to reports, six people survived Monday's plane crash that happened outside Medellin, where Chapecoense football team were due to play a regional final, and to honour the team that lost their lives in the cause, their opponent decided to handle-over the trophy to the team.

Brazilian President Michel Temer is due to greet the planes at the airport.

But he is not expected to go to the ceremony at the stadium, reportedly amid concerns about protests taking place. Fifa's Gianni Infantino will be attending the service.

May their souls rest in peace
