In the same way, in Colombia memes have also been generated on the world news, mainly linked to the name chosen by the religious and teasing against Independiente Santa Fe, a Bogota club that has a lion as a pet.
Leaving aside the teasing, the choice of the new Supreme Pontiff could represent an interest fact for the Cardinal Club, Since in the last two potato elections, Santa Fe reached the final of the next tournament in Colombia.
It should be remembered that, at the beginning of the 21st century, in Colombia, the professional football champion was defined with the league format, which is still used in Europe, but semiannual tournaments have been made with ends and round.
After 27 years of pontificate, in 2005 the death of John Paul II was recorded, which caused the cardinals on duty to choose the successor of the Polish, which ended up being the German Joseph Alois Ratzinger, who chose the name of Benedict XVI.
The election of Benedict XVI was recorded on April 19, 2005, Two months later, the Opening Tournament final in Colombia was played, which faced national and Independent Atlético Santa Fe.
-In the first leg, which was played in Bogotá, it ended 0-0, so the national rented champion was defined in Medellín, where Atlético Nacional defeated Santa Fe 2-0.
On February 28, 2013, the resignation of the Pontificate of Benedict XVI was recorded, which on March 13 of that year he knew that Jorge Mario Bergoglio would be his successor; On that occasion the Argentine chose Francisco’s name.
As in 2005, Atlético Nacional and Santa Fe commanded the Colombian tournamentin which the final was defined again between the Bogota club and the paisa.
Unlike the first example, that final began in Medellín, where it ended 0-0, giving the León the opportunity to define the FPC champion at home, the Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium.
The story was repeated again, and although Santa Fe was the favorite to keep the title, Nacional defeated his rival with so many from Jefferson Duque and Luis Fernando “El Mosco” Mosquera.
With the election of Leo XIV, it has begun to speculate that a final between Santa Fe and Nacional can be repeated in the Opening Tournament of 2025, which would not be unlikely.
At present, Atlético Nacional is already classified to the semifinal home runs of the Betplay League, while Santa Fe needs to add three of nine possible points to advance round in the national rented.
It should be remembered that, In Colombia a second phase is played that consists of two groups of four teams, in which the first of each home run advances to the final of the Opening Tournament.
