JAKARTA - Pope Leo XIV made comments ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which will begin on June 11 local time until mid-July.
Quoted from Pope Leo's official tweet, Thursday, he gave his views on the World Cup and how the event can be a reflection of living in harmony with one another.
"The World Cup starts tomorrow, and many people will watch the matches. Football reminds us of something we must never forget: life is not a race to show off ourselves, but a path we learn to walk together," Pope Leo tweeted.
"Anyone who doesn't know how to pass the ball, even if he is talented, doesn't understand this game. Anyone who doesn't know how to live together and for others has not understood life," he still said in the tweet.
The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11 to July 19 and for the first time will be held in three countries at once, namely Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The opening match of the 2026 World Cup will bring together the host team of Mexico against South Africa at the Azteca Stadium, Mexico City, Thursday local time.
In addition, the 2026 World Cup is also the first time that as many as 48 countries from six confederations have participated, an increase compared to the previous edition which was attended by 32 participants.
