On Saturday, April 26, 2025, Lazio hosts Parma at the Stadio Olimpico in the match valid for matchday 34. However, due to the funeral of Pope Francis even this match is at serious risk of postponement for security reasons, given the huge turnout of faithful expected in the capital.

Uncertainties are growing about the smooth running of Lazio Parma, scheduled for Saturday, April 26, at 8:45 p.m. In fact, the funeral of Pope Francis could take place on the same day, with thousands of faithful expected in Rome. The risk of overlap between religious and sporting events requires careful evaluation by the authorities, although the date of the funeral is not yet official.
Rome Prefect Lamberto Giannini said about this at the end of the public order committee, “The date is not yet official, so we will continue to meet every day at 6 p.m. until the events are over. We will have to deal with important numbers, also considering the teen jubilee that will bring more than 100,000 kids to the city. We do not yet know the exact estimate of the faithful who will attend the Pope funeral, but it will be a massive event.”
The decision on the official date will be made tomorrow by the Congregation of Cardinals. According to the liturgical rite, the funeral should take place between the fourth and sixth day after the death, thus between Friday and Sunday. In the meantime, the Vatican Press Office has announced that seals will be put on Santa Marta and the Angelus floor of the Apostolic Palace in preparation for upcoming solemn events.
