Italy's Serie A had four games scheduled on the 21st (local time). However, due to Pope Francis' death, all games scheduled for this day were postponed.
The Serie A secretariat informs you that all Serie A matches scheduled for today have been postponed due to the pope's predecessor. The rescheduled game schedule will be announced at a later date," the release said. With six matches in the 33rd round of Serie A already held, the matches of Turin-Udinese, Cagliari-Fiorentina, Genoa-Laccio, and Parma-Juventus, which were scheduled to be held on the same day, have been postponed.
Pope Francis died at the age of 88, the Vatican announced. Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican's chief of staff, said `Pope Francis died at his father's house at 7:35 a.m. this morning.' `He devoted his entire life to the service of the Lord and the Church" he said.
Pope Francis has been hospitalized and treated at Rome's Gemelli Hospital since February 14 for respiratory problems. After being diagnosed with pneumonia, he was discharged from the hospital on the 23rd of last month, although his condition worsened during hospitalization.
Recently, they resumed their activities. The pope made a surprise visit to a prison in downtown Rome, Italy, ahead of Easter. He had a private meeting with US Vice President JD Vance, who visited Italy, and was increasing his activities by appearing at Easter Mass.
The day before, when he met with the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square on Easter Day, he also delivered an Easter message. Suddenly, however, the news of the Zen sect came out.
Pope Francis was elected as the 266th pope in 2013, following his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI, who voluntarily resigned due to health problems. Born in Argentina, he is also famous as a soccer fan. I have been rooting for the Argentine team San Lorenzo since I was a child.
Tributes from soccer clubs around the world are also continuing. `A pain that brings deep sorrow to our city and the world,' AS Roma said."His legacy of peace and solidarity will remain an eternal example.' Barcelona, Lazio, and Juventus also expressed their condolences.
However, the English Premier League (EPL) will be held as scheduled. With Son Heung-min expected to be absent, Tottenham will play Nottingham Forest in the 33rd round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
As a result of asking the EPL Secretariat whether there will be a memorial event, 'Sports Bible' is not planning anything at the central level. However, the club said it could decide on its own whether to hold a memorial event.
