Italy observes five days of mourning for the Holy Father, Serie A matches

Italy's Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci has requested that Serie A matches scheduled for Saturday, April 26, be postponed.

Inter - Roma and Como - Genoa are likely to be played on Sunday, while Lazio - Parma, which takes place at the "Olimpico" in Rome, will be played on Monday. It is expected that Lega Serie A will confirm the new schedules.


Following the Pope's passing, the four matches scheduled for Monday, April 21, have been postponed to Wednesday, April 23, at 6:30 p.m. Thus, the matches Torino – Udinese, Cagliari – Fiorentina, Genoa – Lazio and Parma – Juventus will all be played on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the semi-final matches of the Italian Cup, the one between Inter and Milan, will be played tomorrow, while Bologna - Empoli on Thursday, just as they were planned.
