Rome's Jubilee of Sport Launches

The Holy Father today urged all young people to participate in the great Jubilee event, dedicated specially to them, as it will be a unique and unforgettable week of celebration, spirituality, reconciliation, and sharing.

On June 15, 2025, Pope Leo XIV addressed a large gathering of children, young people, and adults who had come to Rome for the Jubilee of Sport.

This year's Jubilee will take place from July 28 to August 3, 2025, in Rome, Italy.

Following the first Jubilee of 1300, Pope Boniface VIII established the frequency of Jubilee celebrations as every 100 years. Following a plea from the people of Rome to Pope Clement VI, the frequency was reduced to every 50 years.

After the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom of Italy, the Jubilees were resumed in 1875.

According to the European CDC, no infectious disease events of relevance to the EU/EEA were detected during the Jubilee from June 9 to June 13, 2025.

The ECDC states that the probability of EU/EEA citizens contracting communicable diseases during the Jubilee 2025 is low if general preventive measures are implemented.
