This jersey was part of a special gift for Pope Francis from the Croatian National soccer team. The group met with the Pope in the Apostolic Palace, where he emphasized that sports are a metaphor for the social life.

POPE FRANCIS
Your role goes beyond the sphere of sports and becomes a model of success and successful living. So it is important for you to cultivate spiritual and human qualities in order to set a good example.

In addition to the personalized jersey, the team gifted Pope Francis with a ball. And with the final blessing, he also wished them luck.

I wholeheartedly bless you all now in the name of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Good luck. Last time, third. This year, second or first
-First, first.

The European Championships will take place from June 14 to July 14 in Germany and Croatia's first game will be against Spain on the 15.
