All football fixtures that were scheduled for Monday in Italy, have been called off following the death of Pope Francis.

The 88-year-old’s death was confirmed by the Vatican earlier in the day.

And as a mark of respect to the Pope, who is also called the Bishop of Rome, all senior men’s and Under-20 top-flight games have been cancelled.

“Following the passing of the Holy Father, the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A announces that the matches scheduled for today of the Serie A Enilive and Primavera 1 Championships are postponed to a date to be determined,” Italy’s topflight, Serie A, in a statement said:

There were due to be four Serie A fixture across Easter Monday starting with Torino vs Udinese (11.30am, BST).

After that, Cagliari was scheduled to play Fiorentina (2pm), before Genoa vs Lazio (5pm) and Parma vs Juventus (7.45pm) concluding the action.

In Primavera 1 the three now-postponed games were Roma U20s vs Udinese U20s (11am), Monza U20s vs Sassuolo U20s and Sampdoria U20s vs Torino U20s.
