Pope Leon XIV Reveals Robert Francis Prevost Supports Real Madrid

Pope Leon XIV revealed during his flight to Spain that Robert Francis Prevost is a supporter of Real Madrid, despite the pontiff representing all teams. The Holy Father joked with journalists about football, noting that while the Pope is for everyone, Prevost specifically holds allegiance to the Spanish club.

Real Madrid officially congratulated Prevost upon his election in May 2025, expressing hope that his papacy would contribute to global peace and solidarity. The lighthearted comment highlighted the personal interests within the Vatican leadership during the ongoing visit to Spain.
