The delegation of Dubrovnik’s water polo club Jug CO – president Lukša Jakobušić, vice president Željan Konsuo, first team coach Vjekoslav Kobešćak, and players Marko Macan, Loren Fatović, Luka Lončar and Xavi Garcia, accompanied by Dubrovnik bishop Mato Uzinić and Don Robert Čibarić, attended the General Audience At Pope Francis on St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican.
After the end of the audience, Pope Francis met the delegation of the Jug CO. Pope Francis was interested in the successes of the South and shared his apostolic blessing for players and the delegation, as well as blessed crowns.
Dubrovnik’s team brought Pope unique Dubrovnik presents – a statue of St. Blaise, the patron saint of the City of Dubrovnik, painted with the Jug Co official team colors, as well as the official water polo ball. But there was one gift Pope was delighted about – official swimming trunks of the club.
