FIFA President Sepp Blatter will have a private audience with Pope Francis.
FIFA says that Blatter, whose is Roman Catholic, will meet the pope in Rome on Nov. 22.
The pope, who was elected in March, grew up as a supporter of Argentine club San Lorenzo in his native country.
Blatter wrote to him then, saying ''we have learned that Your Holiness is a passionate follower of our sport and of a club nicknamed `The Holy Team' no less.''
