Serie A will postpone Saturday’s showdown between Inter and Roma to accommodate the funeral of Pope Francis.
According to ANSA via FCInterNews, Nello Musumeci, Minister for Civil Protection, has announced this decision.
Pope Francis tragically passed away on Easter Monday.
As a result, Serie A postponed all four Monday fixtures, rescheduling them for Wednesday.
League officials are now adjusting the weekend schedule to honor the national mourning period.
Indeed, government sources say the Council of Ministers declared five days of national mourning for Pope Francis’ passing.
Pope Francis Funeral Forces Serie A to Postpone Inter Milan vs Roma Clash
Despite the mourning period, Inter and AC Milan will lock horns in their Coppa Italia semi-final second leg tomorrow night.
However, there will be no football in Italy on Saturday.
Sabato prossimo il campionato di @SerieA sarà sospeso in occasione dei funerali di Papa Francesco. Le partite in calendario per il 26 aprile, tra cui #InterRoma, si giocheranno la domenica. Giusto così.

Instead, all matches will take place the following day, including Inter’s home clash against Roma.
Simone Inzaghi knows there’s no margin for error after Bologna inflicted Inter’s first loss since mid-February last weekend.
Indeed, the reigning Scudetto champions are now level on points with Napoli at the table’s summit.
The rescheduled match took place on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 15:00 local time at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan.해외홀덤대회
They should have postponed Coppa Italia also and punish Napoli and have them play two matches consecutively. I wonder if Conte had to do with the passing of The Pope? We know Conte would do anything shady it is part of his DNA and who he is and his family
let’s play on Tuesday, just one day before Barca !!!!!
