Following the passing of Pope Francis at the age of 88 on Monday, Italy’s Serie A has postponed four fixtures that were set to be played on the same day.
The matches affected include Torino vs. Udinese, Cagliari vs. Fiorentina, Lazio vs. Genoa, and Parma vs. Juventus. New dates for these games have yet to be announced.

Rescheduling these fixtures could prove difficult, given the congested calendar and potential clashes with Champions League semi-final commitments.

The postponements extend beyond Serie A, with Italy’s football federation (FIGC) confirming that all matches across the professional and amateur levels — including youth leagues — scheduled for Monday will also be delayed.
In a statement, the FIGC described the Pope as “an example of Christian charity and dignity in suffering, always close to the world of football.”
The Vatican confirmed that Pope Francis, a known football enthusiast, passed away on Monday at the age of 88.
