Rome: Monday’s Serie A matches have been postponed after Pope Francis’s death at 88 early Monday morning. The decision to delay the matches was made to honor the memory of the Pope.
According to Ansa News Agency, the rest of Italian sport is also pausing in respect. This includes various events across different sports disciplines, reflecting the widespread impact of the Pope’s passing on the country’s sporting calendar.
Rome’s public events for today and tomorrow have been put off too. The city is taking measures to ensure that public gatherings are minimized as citizens and authorities pay their respects.
