The news of Pope Francis's death has caused great sadness around the world. This development caused particular consternation in Italy, and football is currently experiencing a chain reaction. First, the Serie B clash between FC Südtirol and Bari was canceled at short notice ( a catch-up date has already been set), the Ministry of Sport and the Italian Olympic Committee subsequently voted in favour of postponing the Games on Saturday, April 26, as that is the day the funeral ceremony will take place.

Serie B met twice on Tuesday to discuss the schedule changes. At the 19 p.m. meeting, officials finally made a decision, which was announced shortly afterwards: All matches originally scheduled for Saturday will be postponed to Sunday, April 27, at 15 p.m. – just one day later. This includes the match between FC Südtirol and Juve Stabia at Bolzano's Drusus Stadium.

This change in schedule for matchday 35 also affects the match between Catanzaro and Palermo, which will also be played on Sunday at 15 p.m.
