Four Serie A games on Monday were postponed due to the death of Pope Francis. Serie A initially told clubs that the fixtures would not be played this week, but changed its mind and announced that they would be played on Wednesday, April 23.
However, Lotito has sent a message to the Lega Serie A, CONI and FIGC, calling for an urgent meeting to find a mutual solution as they do not want to play on that day because they want to attend the ceremony of Pope Francis in the Vatican, which will be held in the Eternal City on Wednesday.
“This match was an unjustified act that prevented the players from participating in an important historical moment for Rome and the Lazio community,” Lotito said.
