Players, coaches and officials of 'Napoli' met with Pope Leo XIV in celebration of their victory in the Italian championship. The president of the club presented the Pope with a commemorative jersey and also delivered a speech about teamwork and the social role of football on the path to success.

The press claims that I am a fan of 'Roma'. What can I do: that’s what the press says, not everything you read there is true. Welcome! And congratulations on winning the championship! This is a wonderful celebration for Naples!
