Even the Pope has a football team and it is called Fratelli Tutti With a shirt made by Erreà and a pattern that far surpasses that of many top clubs

That Pope Francis has always had a passion for football is well known but perhaps few people knew that the Vatican has its own team: "Fratelli Tutti". For those who were wondering, no, the Pope will not be playing, Fratelli Tutti is made up of Swiss Guards, Vatican employees, children of employees and even priests. They also have a new and flaming jersey, made by Erreà, yellow and of strong visual impact with a texture on which the papal coat of arms is repeated. No detail has been overlooked, and in the centre there is a cross with the words "Fratelli Tutti" in black, which as well as being the name of the team is also the main slogan of the match they will play in a few days' time. The jersey is made of Ti-energy yarn with nano particles of zinc oxide encapsulated in the fibres of the yarn to obtain antiviral effectiveness and is also waterproof.

All eyes will be on the friendly match that will mark the debut of the Vatican team to be held on Saturday 21 November obviously in Rome at the Lazio sports centre against the representative team of the Word Rom Organization. Apart from anything else, the match has a fairly important objective, namely to relaunch the commitment against exclusion and racism.
