Milan, Italy: Inter Milan's match against Roma has been postponed due to a clash with Pope Francis' funeral which the Vatican announced will take place on Saturday, Serie A said on Tuesday.
Serie A said all three matches scheduled for Saturday would be rescheduled, with Inter's -- moved to Sunday at 1300 GMT -- being the highest profile as they contest the league title with Napoli.
The decision comes after the Italian government announced on Tuesday five days of national mourning for Francis, the head of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, who died at his home in the Vatican on Monday aged 88 after suffering a stroke.
He had been recovering from double pneumonia that saw him hospitalised for five weeks.
Italy's Olympic Committee CONI, the country's highest sporting body, "invited" all other federations to suspend any events scheduled for Saturday. CONI also asked a minute's silence be held at all sporting events held during the days of national mourning.
