Vatican City, 17 July 2014 (VIS) –
The players of the Argentine national football team have given Pope
Francis an “Albiceleste” shirt signed by all the members of the
team. Although Argentina fell at the final hurdle during the final of
the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, losing 1:0 to Germany in extra time,
the team said they were confident the Pope thought of them throughout
the tournament.
A large-scale wall photo of the team
with the Pope was installed by the Asociacion de Futbol Argentino
(AFA) at the Brazilian sports complex where the team trained during
the World Cup, a snapshot taken when the team visited Pope Francis in
the Vatican, on the occasion of the friendly match against Italy in
his honour.
