Last Monday the crash claimed the lives of 71 people on board, including 19 Chapecoense players who were on their way to face Atletico Nacional in the final of the Copa Sudamericana.

The trophy has since been awarded to Chapecoense by CONMEBOL as a mark of respect and the club released a new badge on Twitter on Thursday with two new stars.
