According to a statement released by the company, all of the Serie A matches that were scheduled to take place on Monday (April 21) have been postponed.
Serie A issued a statement on its social media platforms at 9:33 am (BST) on Monday to clarify that the scheduled matches, which included Torino vs Udinese, Cagliari versus Fiorentina, Genoa versus Lazio, and Parma versus Juventus, will no longer take place as a result of the passing of Pope Francis.
The following is an excerpt from the announcement that was released by Serie A: “In light of the passing of His Holiness, Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A is able to confirm that today’s league games in Serie A and Primavera 1 have been postponed.” An announcement on the date of the rescheduled games will be made at the appropriate time.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell made the announcement that Pope Francis had passed away earlier today in a statement that was distributed by the Vatican via its Telegram channel.
“This morning at 07:35 local time (05:35 GMT) the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father,” according to the official announcement.
It was through him that we learnt how to live the ideals of the Gospel with fidelity, bravery, and love for all people, particularly those who were the most impoverished and disadvantaged.
“With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite, merciful love of God, One and Tribune.”
After getting an illness that ultimately resulted in pneumonia, Pope Francis, whose birth name is Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was released from the hospital in the month of March.
As a result of “developing pleurisy as an adult and having part of one of his lungs removed at age 21,” he had a history of lung infections throughout his whole life, as reported by the BBC.
A conversation between him and JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, took place just yesterday for a short period of time.
Vance expressed his gratitude to the pope by saying, “I know you have not been feeling great, but it is good to see you in better health.” The phrase “thank you for seeing me”
Vance had been presented with three chocolate eggs by Pope Francis as a parting gift for his three children on the occasion of Easter. In addition, the 88-year-old spoke to the masses who had gathered in St. Peter’s Square, which is located outside the Vatican.
There is no clear indication of when the postponed matches will be rescheduled.
