Special badge issued for that match. Here's the meaning of this symbol from the following website:

'The Greek cross is inscribed in a circular blue field that symbolizes the universe and the need for solidarity. The cross sustains and upholds humanity gathered in the continents represented by the five doves. The cross is the same colour as the doves, signifying the Incarnation whereby God enters into human history and redeems it. The light that comes from the center of the design represent Christ, who is the light of the world.'
