2024-25 Serie A Season: Key Developments and Match Postponements
The 2024-25 Serie A season is underway, with traditional powerhouses vying for the championship while other teams aspire to achieve surprise successes reminiscent of Bologna’s unexpected Champions League qualification last season. Currently, Inter Milan and Napoli appear to be frontrunners for the title, but clubs like Atalanta are poised to intervene in what has already proven to be an exhilarating season.
Postponement of Matches Following the Passing of Pope Francis
In a significant development, the Italian Serie A has announced the postponement of all matches scheduled for Monday due to the death of Pope Francis. The Vatican confirmed that he passed away at the age of 88 early that morning. Subsequently, the Serie A released an official statement declaring, “following the passing of His Holiness, Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A can confirm that today’s league games in Serie A and Primavera 1 have been postponed. The date of the rearranged fixtures will be announced in due course.” The matches initially set for Monday have now been rescheduled for Wednesday, coinciding with already planned Coppa Italia matches on that date.
