Robert Provost was elected on Thursday as the 267th Pope in the history of the Catholic Church. He is the first Pope from North America.

Italian media report that like his predecessor, Pope Francis, Pope Leo XIV is passionate about sports.

Father Giuseppe Pagano, who knows him personally, has also revealed the team that the new Pope sympathizes with, writes A2.

"He is a person with whom you immediately create a relationship of trust. Pope Leo XIV is curious, full of interests, he likes to drive for hours and follows various sports with passion. He is a big Roma fan. After a Roma-Fiorentina match, he jokingly told me: 'Roma's victory is Francis' first miracle after his death,'" Father Pagano told "Il Messaggero". (A2 Televizion)
