Brera Holdings PLC announced that its Serie B football club, S.S. Juve Stabia, will reschedule its home match against Sampdoria to May 13, 2025, at 20:30 CET. The decision follows a league-wide postponement of Round 34 fixtures in recognition of the national mourning period declared after the passing of Pope Francis.
The rescheduled match maintains continuity for football fans, with all previously purchased tickets remaining valid. As part of the commemoration, the club will also observe a minute of silence, aligning with broader Italian football's tribute to the late pontiff.
This adjustment demonstrates the significant cultural impact of Pope Francis' death, with sporting events across Italy pausing to show respect. The postponement reflects the deep connection between sports and national sentiment in Italy, where football serves as more than just a game but a cultural touchstone.
