Say hello to the newest fan of the Socceroos.

Pope Francis has received his own personalised Socceroos kit at the Vatican, thanks to Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove.

Cosgrove, who is currently touring Europe, presented the Argentinian-born Pope with the kit, complete with 'Holy Father' emblazoned on the back.

“Do I have to put it on now?” he joked upon receiving it.

“No, no, no, just when you’re watching the game," Cosgrove replied.

Not that you can really blame him for jumping off Argentina the way they're going.
