Matches of this round will be played on January 4
Matches of the 16th round Italian championship will begin with a moment of silence in honor of Pele. The same applies to today’s friendly matches with the participation of Italian teams.
All matches of the 16th round of Serie A will be held on Wednesday, January 4, including the central match between Inter and Napoli.
After 15 rounds played, Napoli are leading the Serie A standings, ahead of Milan by 8 points.
Recall that the legendary Brazilian footballer Pele died at the age of 83. Brazil has declared three days of mourning after his death.
Since the end of November, Pele has been in a hospital in Sao Paulo. Last fall, Pele underwent surgery to remove a tumor in his right intestine. In early 2022, doctors discovered he had metastases in the intestines, lungs and liver.
Pele won the World Cup three times with Brazil (1958, 1962, 1970). He played for such clubs as Santos and New York Cosmos.
