Football Matches Suspended After Pope Francis’ Death

Football matches in Italy have been postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Pope Francis at age 88 on Easter Monday.

All football matches in Italy have been postponed as a sign of mourning following the death of Pope Francis, who passed away at the age of 88 on Easter Monday morning.

The Vatican confirmed his death earlier in the day. In response, officials decided to suspend all top-level men’s matches as well as Under-20 (Primavera 1) games scheduled for Monday.

A statement released shortly after the announcement of his passing explained that Serie A and youth league games would not go on as planned. This gesture is meant to honour the late Pope, who served as the Bishop of Rome.

Some of the Serie A matches affected include:

– Torino vs. Udinese

– Cagliari vs. Fiorentina

– Genoa vs. Lazio

– Parma vs. Juventus

Primavera 1 games that have been postponed are:

– Roma U20 vs. Udinese U20

– Monza U20 vs. Sassuolo U20

– Sampdoria U20 vs. Torino U20

A new date for these matches has not been confirmed yet. The Serie A league body stated: “The Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A announces that the matches scheduled for today of the Serie A Enilive and Primavera 1 Championships are postponed to a date to be determined.”
