On September 3, 2016, Roma hosted the Argentinian San Lorenzo for a friendly match. The income from the match would be donated to the victims of the previous earthquake in Italy. The two teams visited Pope Francis before the game who is a fan of the San Lorenzo team.<\/p>\n

The match ended with a score of 2-1 in favor of Roma with goals from Iturbe and Keba Coly while Fernando Bellucci had tied at 1-1. In this match, however, this special jersey was worn by the hosts. The design is based on the away jersey of Roma where there was no usual Roma emblem but one of its previous versions. In addition, there is an obvious difference from the jersey of that match. In addition to the match details that were printed, the logo of \"Misericordes sicut Pater\" (Mercy as Father) was also printed on the chest as the match was organized as part of the charity event \"Family Celebration\", as one of the activities of the Holy Year , sponsored by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelism.<\/p>\n

In addition, it is characteristic that the captain of Roma, Francesco Totti, did not have his surname on his back but his first name in honor of the namesake of Pope Francis.<\/p>\n
