Pope Francis, a lifelong supporter of the Argentine football club San Lorenzo, passed away at 88, prompting a mix of memorials and protests amid a scandal involving the club’s president, Marcelo Moretti, who faces allegations of corruption. While fans honored Francis with mass, others demanded Moretti’s resignation following a video showing him allegedly accepting bribes. Francis, known for emphasizing teamwork in sports, remained influential in football, having hosted legends like Messi and Maradona during his papacy, and will be remembered as member 88,235 of San Lorenzo.
