The matches will be played at the historic Roman sports facility Capannelle and will begin on Friday with the crossing between the Vatican and an English group, the Highgate, from London. It will be "a month of cultural, ecumenical and interreligious exchange" thanks to these sporting events, but not only, because other activities will also be organized with these teams in the Vatican, "from a Mass presided over by Pope Francis in the Basilica of Saint Peter , until a visit to the Museums and the Sistine Chapel ". The San Pedro cricket club of the Vatican was founded on October 22, 2013 and is composed exclusively of priests, deacons and seminarians who study at the Pontifical Institute based in the capital, according to the note sent to the media.
