Death of Pope Francis: Serie A halts, all matches postponed

Following the death of Pope Francis, soccer comes to a complete halt. The Italian Serie A National League has announced that all matches scheduled for today have been postponed until a date to be determined.

Specifically, at the level of Serie A, there are four matches that will not be played, namely Torino-Udinese, Cagliari-Fiorentina, Genoa-Lazio and the postponement originally scheduled for Monday evening at the Tardini between Parma and Juventus. Also postponed are the matches Roma-Udinese, Monza-Sassuolo and Sampdoria-Torino of the Primavera tournament.

This is the official statement issued by the Lega Serie A: “Following the passing of the Holy Father, the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A announces that the matches scheduled for today’s Serie A Enilive and Primavera 1 championship are postponed until a date to be determined”.

At the moment, it is not yet possible to make plausible assumptions about how much the four postponed matches will be made up.
