Why there are no Serie A games on Saturday, April 26 | OneFootball

No Serie A games will be played today, Saturday, April 26, 2025, as a sign of respect on the day of Pepe Francis’ funeral.

The Pope died on Monday, April 21, aged 88, and the Italian Government announced five days of national mourning the following day.

Lega Serie A postponed four league games that were scheduled for Monday, and also did the same with three games initially set for today: Como-Genoa, Inter-Roma, and Lazio-Parma.
