Football fans, teams and associations from around the world continued to rally behind the beleaguered Brazilian top-flight team on Thursday.

Several clubs both in Brazil and abroad have said they will wear Chapecoense's logo on their shirts while world football's governing body FIFA said it approved a minute's silence before all matches this weekend.

Meanwhile, South American football governing body CONMEBOL is expected to accept a request by Colombia's Atletico Nacional to award Chapecoense the Copa Sudamericana title.

The clubs had been due to meet in the continental tournament's final over two legs on November 30 and December 7.

Atletico National staged a heartwarming tribute to Chapecoense with a candlelight vigil at their Anastasio Girardot stadium on Wednesday.

Fans packed the 45,000-seat stadium with thousands more congregating in the surrounding streets after being unable to enter the venue.
