Legend has it that one day over a century ago, November 1, 1897 to be exact, a group of youngsters age 14 to 17 from the D'Anzeglio High School in Turin, sitting on an uncomfortable bench on a street called Corso Re Umberto, decided to start a sports club with the aim of playing football. The same legend has it that the club was called "Juventus" more or less by chance, and that the name was immediately loved and adopted as a way of life.


The Club, who's first president was Enrico Cafari, changed headquarters often but soon made a name for itself against many more expert teams in town. The players weared pink jerseys. Juventus made their debut in the Italian championship in 1900, wearing this uniform. The black and white one was imported directly from Nottingham in 1903. The team played in Piazza d'Armi. Meanwhile some of the early games were played on a field near the current train station of Porta Susa. This field was soon covered by buildings and Juventus rented a field on the Motovelodromo Umberto I in the Crocetta part of town instead. Juventus played here until 1906. Juventus then moved to the north of the city and the Stadio di Corso Marsiglia. This small stadium was known as “Campo Juventus" in Turin.







Trivia

- The only European club to receive UEFA Plaque for their triumph in winning European Champions Cup/Champions League, Cup Winners Cup & UEFA Cup.
- The club is currently fourth in Europe and seventh in the world with the most international titles won officially recognized by their respective continental football confederation and FIFA
- In 1985, Juventus became the first club in the history of European football to have won all three major UEFA competitions, the European Champion Clubs' Cup, the (now-defunct) UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup (first Italian and Southern European side to win the competition).
- After winning the Intercontinental Cup in the same year, Juventus also became the first football team ever—remain the only one at present—to have won all official international competitions.

reporting in glad we finally back on top of the table, hopefully we will win this season again.

friday is the champions league draw, which club do you guys prefer to face in the last 8 ? my choice would be man utd(if they go through) or liverpool.

Real Madrid

i still feels that we kinda have an unfinished business with them, after that demolition in the 2nd half of UCL final due to team implosion lead by those 2 cunts Alves & Bonucci

Bayern would be my last choice due to Juve poor record against em in UCL knockout stage

I would have no problem to face anyone. We will always move forward the hard way. Bring it on any opponent. Forza Juve!!!

Good question dude.

I don't know if I have a preference; whoever we meet, I think we'll be prepared for them.

i just love to face english club as i think they are too overrated by the media, and i would like to avoid bayern and man city as they are in superb form right now.

i would prefer fc bayern munich. would prefer to knock them out by griding a result like how we did vs tottenham

prior to Agnelli era IMO Juve kinda having a bad record against BPL team in UCL

United 1-1 Juve
Juve 2-3 United

Arsenal 3-1 Juve
Juve 1-0 Arsenal

United 2-1 Juve
Juve 0-3 United

Liverpool 2-1 Juve
Juve 0-0 Liverpool

Arsenal 2-0 Juve
Juve 0-0 Arsenal

Chelsea 1-0 Juve
Juve 2-2 Chelsea

but after 2011 iinm we're unbeaten against any of them

Chelsea 3-3 Juve
Juve 3-0 Chelsea

City 1-2 Juve
Juve 1-0 City

Juve 2-2 Spurs
Spurs 1-2 Juve

No man utd for you, and no #pogback reunion for us

no possible Pogba reunion then..

anyway, i'm happy for Montella.

Sevilla usually branded as a "big team who does worst away from home" but after the result they got last night...its safe to say they're literally the darkhorse in UCL quarter final

and congrats to another Serie A representative Roma too. Its been a while since 2 Italian teams made it to UCL qfinal stage

Roma in QF means less money for our UCL

but Atalanta first, they are quite dangerous. hopefully Juve can cope ...

check-in

4pts clear baybehh

Wow, did you guys read this:

https://www.football-italia.net/118508/buff...id-juventus-jet

It’s reported that Gianluigi Buffon and Massimiliano Allegri paid out of their own pockets for a private jet to take Juventus to Davide Astori’s funeral.

The Bianconeri played Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League last Wednesday, with the Fiorentina captain’s funeral the following day.

A delegation from Juve nonetheless managed to attend the final farewell to Astori, and were greeted with applause and gratitude from the Viola fans, despite the intense rivalry between the teams.

Now La Nazione is reporting that after the Spurs game, Buffon told his teammates in the dressing room that there was a private plane to take them to Florence for the funeral.

The goalkeeper told his teammates that anyone wishing to attend should meet in the hotel lobby at 4.30am, while stating that he understood if people wanted to sleep after such a tough match.

In the event all of the players turned up in the lobby, but there wasn't enough space on the plane for everyone to go.

The newspaper believes that Buffon and Allegri paid out of their own pockets for the 12-seater jet, meeting up with Federico Bernardeschi when the delegation reached Florence.

La Nazione also reports that the police proposed that Juventus enter the Basilica di Santa Croce by a back entrance, but Buffon urged all his teammates to walk around the front to show their solidarity with the people of Florence.

The story hasn't been confirmed, but Buffon did thank the Fiorentina fans for their reaction to the Juventus players' arrival.

JYEAHHH!
