New dates for Serie A matches, which were postponed due to the death of the Pope, have become known.


The press service of the Italian football championship announced that three matches of the 34th round of Serie A, which were supposed to take place on April 26 and were postponed due to the death of the Pope, will now take place on new dates. The matches 'Como' - 'Genoa' and 'Inter' - 'Roma' will take place on April 27, while 'Lazio' - 'Parma' will be on April 28.
After the death of Pope Francis, cardinals from around the world gather in the Sistine Chapel to hold a conclave, where a vote for the new Pontiff will take place. Only cardinals under the age of 80 participate in the voting. Although technically any Catholic can be elected, traditionally the new Pope is one of the cardinals.
The funeral of Pope Francis will take place on Saturday, April 26, at 10:00 AM. The Holy Mass will be led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the Dean of the College of Cardinals. The coffin with the body of Pope Francis will be transported to St. Peter's Basilica after a short prayer. Following the liturgical service and final farewell, the coffin will be taken to the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore for burial.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he would attend Pope Francis's funeral in Rome.
