History


Early years (1897–1918)

Juventus was founded as Sport-Club Juventus in late 1897 by pupils from the Liceo Classico Massimo d'Azeglio, Massimo d'Azeglio Lyceum school in Turin, among them the brothers Eugenio Canfari, Eugenio and Enrico Canfari. It was renamed as Foot-Ball Club Juventus two years later. The club joined the Italian Football Championship in 1900 Italian Football Championship, 1900. Juventus played their first match on 11 March 1900, in a 1–0 defeat against F.B.C. Torinese, Torinese. In 1904, businessman Marco Ajmone-Marsan, Ajmone-Marsan revived the finances of Juventus, making it possible to transfer the training field from piazza d'armi to the more appropriate Velodrome Umberto I. During this period, the team wore a pink and black kit. Juventus first won the league championship in 1905 Italian Football Championship, 1905 while playing at their Velodromo Umberto I, Velodrome Umberto I ground. By this time the club colours had changed to black and white stripes, inspired by English side Notts County F.C., Notts County. There was a split at the club in 1906, after some of the staff considered moving Juve out of Turin. President Alfred Dick (entrepreneur), Alfred Dick was unhappy with this and left with some prominent players to found Torino F.C., FBC Torino which in turn spawned the ''Derby della Mole''. Juventus spent much of this period steadily rebuilding after the split, surviving the First World War.


League dominance (1923–1980)

Fiat Automobiles, FIAT vicepresident Edoardo Agnelli (industrialist), Edoardo Agnelli was elected club's president in 1923 and a new stadium was inaugurated one year before. This helped the club to its second league championship in the 1925–26 Prima Divisione, 1925–26 season, after beating S.S. Alba-Audace Roma, Alba Roma in a two-legged final with an aggregate score of 12–1. The club established itself as a major force in Italian football since the 1930s, becoming the country's first professional club and the first with a decentralised fan base, which led it to win a record of List of Italian football champions#Serie A, five consecutive Italian championships and form Nazio-Juve, the core of the Italy national football team, Italy national team during the Vittorio Pozzo's era, including the 1934 FIFA World Cup, 1934 world champion 1934 FIFA World Cup squads#Italy, squad, with star players such as Raimundo Orsi, Luigi Bertolini, Giovanni Ferrari and Luis Monti, among others. Juventus moved to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Stadio Comunale, but for the rest of the 1930s and the majority of the 1940s they were unable to recapture championship dominance. After the Second World War, Gianni Agnelli was appointed president. The club added two more league championships to its name in the 1949–50 Serie A, 1949–50 and 1951–52 Serie A, 1951–52 seasons, the first of which was under the management of Englishman Jesse Carver. For the 1957–58 Serie A, 1957–58 season, two new strikers, Welshman John Charles and Italian Argentine Omar Sívori, were signed to play alongside longtime member Giampiero Boniperti. In the 1959–60 Juventus F.C. season, 1959–60 season, they beat ACF Fiorentina, Fiorentina to complete their first league and cup double, winning 1959–60 Serie A, Serie A and Coppa Italia. Boniperti retired in 1961 as the all-time top scorer at the club, with 182 goals in all competitions, a club record which stood for 45 years. During the rest of the decade, the club won the league just once more in 1966–67 Serie A, 1966–67. However, the 1970s saw Juventus further solidify their strong position in Italian football, and under former player Čestmír Vycpálek they won the ''scudetto'' in 1971–72 Serie A, 1971–72 and 1972–73 Serie A, 1972–73, with players such as Roberto Bettega, Franco Causio and José Altafini breaking through. During the rest of the decade, they won the league thrice more, with defender Gaetano Scirea contributing significantly. The latter two success in Serie A was under Giovanni Trapattoni, who also led the club to their first ever major European title (the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Cup) in 1976–77 UEFA Cup, 1977 and helped the club's domination continue on into the early part of the 1980s.


European stage (1980–1993)

The Trapattoni era was highly successful in the 1980s and the club started the decade off well, winning the league title three more times by 1984. This meant Juventus had won 20 Italian league titles and were allowed to add a second golden star to their shirt, thus becoming the only Italian club to achieve this. Around this time, the club's players were attracting considerable attention and Paolo Rossi was named European Footballer of the Year following his contribution to Italy's victory in the 1982 World Cup, where he was named Player of the Tournament.Frenchman Michel Platini was also awarded the European Footballer of the Year title for three years in a row in 1983, 1984 and 1985, which is a record. Juventus are the first and one of the only two clubs to have players from their club winning the award in four consecutive years. It was Platini who scored the winning goal in the 1985 European Cup Final against Liverpool F.C., Liverpool, but this was marred by a Heysel Stadium disaster, tragedy which changed European football. That year, Juventus became the UEFA club competition records and statistics#List of teams to have won the three main European club competitions, first club in the history of European football to have won all three major UEFA club competition records, UEFA competitions and, after their triumph in the 1985 Intercontinental Cup, Intercontinental Cup, the club also became Timeline of association football#1980s, the first, and thus far, the only in association football history, to have won all five possible :UEFA club competitions, confederation competitions, an achievement that it revalidated with a sixth title won in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup. With the exception of winning the closely contested Italian Championship of 1985–86 Serie A, 1985–86, the rest of the 1980s were not very successful for the club. As well as having to contend with Diego Maradona's S.S.C. Napoli, Napoli, both of the Milanese clubs, A.C. Milan, AC Milan and Inter Milan, won Italian championships; however, Juventus did win a 1989–90 Coppa Italia, Coppa Italia-1990 UEFA Cup Final, UEFA Cup double in 1990 under the guidance of former club legend Dino Zoff. In 1990, Juventus also moved into their new home, the Stadio delle Alpi, which was built for the 1990 FIFA World Cup, 1990 World Cup. Despite the arrival of Italian star Roberto Baggio later that year for a World football transfer record, world record transfer fee, the early 1990s under Luigi Maifredi and subsequently Trapattoni once again also saw little success for Juventus, as they only managed to win the 1993 UEFA Cup Final, UEFA Cup in 1993.


Renewed international success (1994–2004)

Marcello Lippi took over as Juventus manager at the start of the 1994–95 Serie A, 1994–95 campaign. His first season at the helm of the club was a successful one, as Juventus recorded their first Serie A championship title since the mid-1980s, as well as the 1994–95 Coppa Italia, Coppa Italia. The crop of players during this period featured Ciro Ferrara, Roberto Baggio, Gianluca Vialli and a young Alessandro Del Piero. Lippi led Juventus to their first 1995 Supercoppa Italiana, Supercoppa Italiana and the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League, Champions League the following season, beating AFC Ajax, Ajax on penalties after a 1–1 draw in which Fabrizio Ravanelli scored for Juventus. The club did not rest long after winning the European Cup: more highly regarded players were brought into the fold in the form of Zinedine Zidane, Filippo Inzaghi and Edgar Davids. At home, Juventus won the 1996–97 Serie A, 1996–97 and 1997–98 Serie A, 1997–98 Serie A titles, as well as the 1996 UEFA Super Cup and the 1996 Intercontinental Cup. Juventus reached the 1997 UEFA Champions League Final, 1997 and 1998 UEFA Champions League Final, 1998 Champions League finals during this period, but lost out to Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid C.F., Real Madrid respectively. After a two-and-a-half-season absence, Lippi returned to the club in 2001, following his replacement Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal, signing big name players such as Gianluigi Buffon, David Trezeguet, Pavel Nedvěd and Lilian Thuram, helping the team to two more ''scudetto'' titles during the 2001–02 Serie A, 2001–02 and 2002–03 Serie A, 2002–03 seasons. Juventus were also part of an all Italian Champions League final in 2003 UEFA Champions League Final, 2003, but lost out to Milan on penalties after the game ended in a 0–0 draw. At the conclusion of the following season, Lippi was appointed as the Italy national team's head coach, bringing an end to one of the most fruitful managerial spells in Juventus' history.


''Calciopoli'' scandal (2004–2007)

Fabio Capello was appointed as Juventus' coach in 2004 and led the club to two more consecutive Serie A first places. In May 2006, Juventus became one of the five clubs linked to the ''Calciopoli'' scandal. In July, Juventus was placed at the bottom of the league table and relegated to Serie B for the first time in its history. The club was also stripped of the 2005 title won under Capello, while the 2006 title, after a period ''sub judice'', was assigned to Inter. Many key players left following their relegation to Serie B, including Thuram, star striker Zlatan Ibrahimović and defensive stalwart Fabio Cannavaro; however, other big name players such as Del Piero, Buffon, Trezeguet and Nedvěd remained to help the club return to Serie A, while youngsters from the Campionato Nazionale Primavera, Primavera (youth team), such as Sebastian Giovinco and Claudio Marchisio, were integrated into the first team. Juventus won the ''Cadetti'' title (Serie B championship) despite starting with a points deduction and gained promotion straight back up to the top division, with captain Del Piero claiming the top scorer award with 21 goals, as league winners after the 2006–07 Serie B, 2006–07 season. As early as 2010, Juventus considered challenging the stripping of their ''scudetto'' from 2006 and the non-assignment of the 2005 title, dependent on the results of trials connected to the 2006 scandal. When former general manager Luciano Moggi's conviction in criminal court in connection with the scandal was partially written off by the Supreme Court in March 2015, the club sued the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for €443 million for damages caused by their 2006 relegation. Then-FIGC president Carlo Tavecchio offered to discuss reinstatement of the lost ''scudetti'' in exchange for Juventus dropping the lawsuit. In September 2015, the Supreme Court released a 150-page document that explained its final ruling of the case; despite his remaining charges being cancelled without a new trial due to statute of limitations, the court confirmed that Moggi was actively involved in the sporting fraud which was intended to favour Juventus and increase his own personal benefits. In 2016, the TAR tribunal rejected the request of compensation promoted by Juventus. In March 2017, Moggi's lifetime ban was definitively confirmed on final appeal.


Return to Serie A (2007–2011)

After returning to Serie A in the 2007–08 Serie A, 2007–08 season, Juventus appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager. They finished in third place in their first season back in the top flight and qualified for the 2008–09 UEFA Champions League, Champions League third qualifying round in the preliminary stages. Juventus reached the group stages, where they beat Real Madrid in both home and away legs, before losing in the knockout round to Chelsea F.C., Chelsea. Ranieri was sacked following a string of unsuccessful results and Ciro Ferrara was appointed as manager on a temporary basis for the last two games of the 2008–09 Serie A, 2008–09 season, before being subsequently appointed as the manager for the 2009–10 Serie A, 2009–10 season. Ferrara's stint as Juventus manager proved to be unsuccessful, with Juventus knocked out of 2009–10 UEFA Champions League, Champions League and 2009–10 Coppa Italia, Coppa Italia, as well as just lying on the sixth place in the league table at the end of January 2010, leading to the dismissal of Ferrara and the naming of Alberto Zaccheroni as caretaker manager. Zaccheroni could not help the side improve, as Juventus finished the season in seventh place in Serie A. For the 2010–11 Serie A, 2010–11 season, Jean-Claude Blanc was replaced by

as the club's president. Agnelli's first action was to replace Zaccheroni and director of sport Alessio Secco with U.C. Sampdoria, Sampdoria manager Luigi Delneri and director of sport Giuseppe Marotta. However, Delneri failed to improve their fortunes and was dismissed, and former player and fan favourite Antonio Conte, fresh after winning promotion with S.S.

Crest and colours

Juventus have played in black and white striped shirts, with white shorts, sometimes black shorts since 1903. Originally, they played in pink shirts with a black tie. The father of one of the players made the earliest shirts, but continual washing faded the colour so much that in 1903 the club sought to replace them. Extracts taken from the ''Official History of Notts County''. Juventus asked one of their team members, Englishman John Savage, if he had any contacts in England who could supply new shirts in a colour that would better withstand the elements. He had a friend who lived in Nottingham, who being a Notts County F.C., Notts County supporter, shipped out the black and white striped shirts to Turin. Juventus have worn the shirts ever since, considering the colours to be aggressive and powerful. Juventus' official emblem has undergone different and small modifications since the 1920s. The previous modification of the Juventus badge took place in 2004, when the emblem of the team changed to a black-and-white Shield (heraldry), oval shield of a type used by Italian ecclesiastics. It is divided in five vertical stripes: two white stripes and three black stripes, inside which are the following elements, while in its upper section the name of the society superimposed on a white Convex set, convex section, over golden curvature (gold for honour). The white silhouette of a Cattle, charging bull is in the lower section of the oval shield, superimposed on a black Shield (heraldry), old French shield and the charging bull is a symbol of the ''comune'' of Turin. There is also a black silhouette of a mural crown above the black spherical triangle's base. This is a reminiscence to Augusta Tourinorum, the old city of the Roman Empire, Roman era which the present capital of Piedmont region is its cultural heiress. In January 2017, president
Andrea Agnelli Andrea Agnelli (; born 6 December 1975) is an Italian businessman. Agnelli served as chairman of Italian football club Juventus F.C. since May 2010 to until his resignation on November 2022 following a Financial Accounts Probe ordered by the Tu ...
announced the change to the Juventus badge for a logotype. More specifically, it is a pictogram composed by a stylized Black and White "J" which Agnelli said reflects "the Juventus way of living." Juventus was the first team in sports history to adopt a Star (sport badge), star as a symbol associated with any competition's triumph, who added one above their badge in 1958 to represent their tenth Italian Football Championship and Serie A title, and has since become popularized with other clubs as well. In the past, the convex section of the emblem had a blue colour (another symbol of Turin) and it was Concave polygon, concave in shape. The old French shield and the mural crown, also in the lower section of the emblem, had a considerably greater size. The two "Golden Stars for Sport Excellence" were located above the convex and concave section of Juventus' emblem. During the 1980s, the club emblem was the blurred silhouette of a zebra, alongside the two golden stars with the club's name forming an arc above. Juventus unofficially won their 30th league title in 2011–12, but a dispute with the FIGC, which stripped Juventus of their 2004–05 title and did not assign them the 2005–06 title due to their involvement in the ''Calciopoli'' scandal, left their official total at 28; the club elected to wear no stars at all the 2012–13 Serie A, following season. Juventus won their 30th title in 2013–14 and thus earned the right to wear their third star, but Agnelli stated that the club suspended the use of the stars until another team wins their 20th championship, having the right to wear two stars "to emphasise the difference". For the 2015–16 Juventus F.C. season, 2015–16 season, Juventus reintroduced the stars and added the third star to their jersey as well with new kit manufacturers Adidas, in addition to the Coppa Italia badge for winning their tenth 2014–15 Coppa Italia, Coppa Italia the 2014–15 Juventus F.C. season, previous season. For the 2016–17 Juventus F.C. season, 2016–17 season, Juventus re-designed their kit with a different take on the trademark black and white stripes. For the 2017–18 Juventus F.C. season, 2017–18 season, Juventus introduced the ''J'' shaped logo onto the kits. In September 2015, Juventus officially announced a new project called JKids for its junior supporters on its website. Along with this project, Juventus also introduced a new mascot to all its fans which is called J. J is a cartoon-designed zebra, black and white stripes with golden edge piping on its body, golden shining eyes, and three golden stars on the front of its neck. J made its debut at

on 12 September 2015. During its history, the club has acquired a number of nicknames, ''la Vecchia Signora'' (the Old Lady) being the best example. The "old" part of the nickname is a pun on Juventus which means "youth" in Latin. It was derived from the age of the Juventus star players towards the middle of the 1930s. The "lady" part of the nickname is how fans of the club affectionately referred to it before the 1930s. The club is also nicknamed ''la Fidanzata d'Italia'' (the Girlfriend of Italy), because over the years it has received a high level of support from Southern Italy, Southern Italian immigrant workers (particularly from Naples and Palermo), who arrived in Turin to work for FIAT since the 1930s. Other nicknames include; ''[La] Madama'' (Piedmontese language, Piedmontese for Madam), ''i bianconeri'' (the black-and-whites), ''le zebre'' (the zebras) in reference to Juventus' colours. ''I gobbi'' (the hunchbacks) is the nickname that is used to define Juventus supporters, but is also used sometimes for team's players. The most widely accepted origin of ''gobbi'' dates to the fifties, when the ''bianconeri'' wore a large jersey. When players ran on the field, the jersey, which had a laced opening at the chest, generated a bulge over the back (a sort of parachute effect), making the players look hunchbacked. The official anthem of Juventus is ''Juve (storia di un grande amore)'', or ''Juve (story of a great love)'' in English, written by Alessandra Torre and Claudio Guidetti, in the version of the singer and musician Paolo Belli composed in 2007. In 2016, a documentary film called ''Black and White Stripes: The Juventus Story'' was produced by the La Villa brothers about Juventus. On 16 February 2018, the first three episodes of a docu-series called ''First Team: Juventus'', which followed the club throughout the 2017–18 Juventus F.C. season, season, by spending time with the players behind the scenes both on and off the field, was released on Netflix; the other three episodes were released on 6 July 2018. On 25 November 2021, an eight-episode docu-series called ''All or Nothing: Juventus'', which followed the club throughout the 2020–21 Juventus F.C. season, season, by spending time with the players behind the scenes both on and off the field, was released on Amazon Prime.


Stadiums

After the first two years (1897 and 1898), during which Juventus played in the Parco del Valentino and Parco Cittadella, their matches were held in the Piazza d'Armi Stadium until 1908, except in 1905 (the first year of the ''scudetto'') and in 1906, years in which they played at the Stadio Motovelodromo Umberto I, Corso Re Umberto. From 1909 to 1922, Juventus played their internal competitions at Corso Sebastopoli Camp before moving the following year to Corso Marsiglia Camp, where they remained until 1933, winning four league titles. At the end of 1933, they began to play at the new Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Stadio Benito Mussolini inaugurated for the 1934 FIFA World Cup, 1934 World Championships. After the Second World War, the stadium was renamed as Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo. Juventus played home matches at the ground for 57 years, a total of 890 league matches. The team continued to host training sessions at the stadium until July 2003. From 1990 until the 2005–06 season, the Torinese side contested their home matches at Stadio delle Alpi, built for the 1990 FIFA World Cup, although in very rare circumstances the club played some home games in other stadia such as Stadio Renzo Barbera, Renzo Barbera at Palermo, Stadio Dino Manuzzi, Dino Manuzzi in Cesena and the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan. In August 2006, Juventus returned to play in the Stadio Comunale, then known as Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Stadio Olimpico, after the restructuring of the stadium for the 2006 Winter Olympics onward. In November 2008, Juventus announced that they would invest around €120 million to build a new ground, the Juventus Stadium, on the site of delle Alpi. Unlike the old ground, there is not a running track and instead the pitch is only 7.5 metres away from the stands. The capacity is 41,507. Work began during spring 2009 and the stadium was opened on 8 September 2011, ahead of the start of the 2011–12 season. Since 1 July 2017, the Juventus Stadium is known commercially as the Allianz Stadium of Turin until 30 June 2030.


Supporters

Juventus is the most-supported football club in Italy, with over 12 million fans or ''tifosi'', which represent approximately 34% of the total Italian football fans according to a research published in September 2016 by Italian research agency Demos & Pi, as well as one of the most supported football clubs in the world, with over 300 million supporters (41 million in Europe alone), particularly in the Mediterranean countries to which a large number of Italian diaspora have emigrated. The Torinese side has fan clubs branches across the globe. Demand for Juventus tickets in occasional home games held away from Turin is high, suggesting that Juventus have stronger support in other parts of the country. Juventus is widely and especially popular throughout mainland Southern Italy, Sicily and Malta, leading the team to have one of the largest followings in its away matches, more than in Turin itself.


Club rivalries

Juventus have significant rivalries with two main clubs. Their traditional rivals are fellow Turin club Torino; matches between the two sides are known as the ''Derby della Mole'' (Turin Derby). The rivalry dates back to 1906 as Torino was founded by break-away Juventus players and staff. Their most high-profile rivalry is with Inter, another big Serie A club located in Milan, the capital of the neighbouring region of Lombardy. Matches between these two clubs are referred to as the ''Derby d'Italia'' (Derby of Italy) and the two regularly challenge each other at the top of the league table, hence the intense rivalry. Until the Calciopoli scandal which saw Juventus forcibly relegated, the two were the only Italian clubs to have never played below Serie A. Notably, the two sides are the first and the third most supported clubs in Italy and the rivalry has intensified since the later part of the 1990s; reaching its highest levels ever post-''Calciopoli'', with the return of Juventus to Serie A. The rivalry with AC Milan is a rivalry between the two most titled and supported teams in Italy. The challenge confronts also two of the clubs with greater basin of supporters as well as those with the greatest turnover and stock market value in the country. The match-ups between Milan and Juventus, is regarded as the championship of Serie A, and both teams were often fighting for the top positions of the standings, sometimes even decisive for the award of the title. They also have rivalries with A.S. Roma, Roma, ACF Fiorentina, Fiorentina and S.S.C. Napoli, Napoli.


Youth programme

The Juventus youth set-up has been recognised as one of the best in Italy for producing young talents. While not all graduates made it to the first team, many have enjoyed successful careers in the Italian top flight. Under long-time coach Vincenzo Chiarenza, the ''Primavera'' (under-19) squad enjoyed one of its successful periods, winning all age-group competitions from 2004 to 2006. Like Dutch club Ajax and many Premier League clubs, Juventus operates several satellite clubs and football schools outside of the country (i.e. United States, Canada, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Switzerland) and numerous camps in the local region to expand talent scouting. On 3 August 2018, Juventus founded their professional reserve team, called Juventus F.C. Under-23, Juventus U23 (renamed to Juventus Next Gen in August 2022), playing in Serie C, who won the 2019–20 Coppa Italia Serie C, Coppa Italia Serie C in 2020. In the 2021–22 UEFA Youth League, the U19 squad reached the semi-finals, equalling the best-ever placing in the competition for a Serie A team. The youth system is also notable for its contribution to the Italian national senior and youth teams. 1934 World Cup winner Gianpiero Combi, Football at the 1936 Summer Olympics, 1936 Gold Medal and 1938 FIFA World Cup, 1938 World Cup winner Pietro Rava, Giampiero Boniperti, Roberto Bettega, 1982 World Cup hero Paolo Rossi and more recently Claudio Marchisio and Sebastian Giovinco are a number of former graduates who have gone on to make the first team and full Italy squad.
