Pope Francis was elected to lead the Catholic Church in 2013, replacing Pope Benedict XVI. <\/p>\n

The 88-year-old was a known football fan and had supported Argentine side San Lorenzo since he was a child.<\/p>\n

A tribute from the club read: “Our hearts ache. Pope Francis has left this world, but he will never leave our hearts.<\/p>\n

“An honorary member of our club, his passion for San Lorenzo always moved us especially, and unites us in a constant prayer for his soul.<\/p>\n

“He celebrated every achievement with us with enormous generosity, receiving the delegations that visited him in the Vatican during his papacy.”<\/p>\n

A number of Serie A clubs also posted tributes to the Pope following his passing.<\/p>\n

“A loss that deeply saddens our city and the entire world,” a Roma statement read.<\/p>\n

“His faith, his humility, his courage and his dedication have touched the hearts of millions of people, making him a moral reference of our time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
