The Serie A matches initially scheduled for Monday, April 21, have been postponed to Wednesday, April 23, at 5:30 pm GMT, following the death of Pope Francis on this Easter Monday.

The Italian Football League has decided to suspend all professional competitions (Serie A, B, and C) as a sign of national mourning.

Four matchups of the 33rd round were scheduled for Monday: Cagliari – Fiorentina, Genoa – Lazio, Parma – Juventus and Torino – Udinese. In response to the passing of the pontiff, which occurred earlier in the day, the Italian football authorities quickly decided to postpone the matches, citing the need to respect this moment of reflection for the Italian people and the Catholic world.

A decision widely praised by clubs

The new dates have been confirmed: all matches will take place on Wednesday, April 23, at 5:30 pm GMT.

This decision, marked by solemnity, has been widely praised by clubs, players, and fans, who see this postponement as a gesture of respect in the face of a historically significant event.

The teams involved will thus have a few extra days to fine-tune their preparations ahead of an always uncertain season finale.
