Juventus F.C.

Juventus FC on tv and stream

A group of Turin youngsters exhibited an interest in football, a unique sport that had recently been 'imported' from England.

They had the unusual notion of forming a sports club. They were well educated, but the eldest was just 17 years old, paving the way for the name of the club. The Italian word 'Juventus' means "youth," and it is also known as "The Old Lady," "The Girlfriend of Italy," "Madame," "The White-Blacks," and other nicknames. Juventus is an Italian professional football club headquartered in Turin, Piedmont, that participates in Serie A, the Italian football league's highest flight.

The old days

Juventus was founded as a sports club in late 1897 by a group of grammar school students from Turin's Massimo d'Azeglio Lyceum school, including two brothers, Eugenio and Enrico Canfari, but was renamed Foot-Ball Club Juventus two years later.

Enrico Canfari was the club's first president. In 1900, the team competed in the Italian Football Championship. Juventus played their first match in club history on March 11, 1900, losing 1-0 to Torinese.

The first site was Piazza d'Armi, and Juventus made it feasible to move the training field from Piazza d'Armi to the Velodrome Umberto I, which was more suitable. During these tests, one side began by wearing pink. The Bianconeri colors, which had come from Nottingham, were inspired by the English side of Notts County after a quarter of a century.

League dominance

Giampiero Combi, one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, made his first-team debut during the year. In 1923, Mr. Edoardo Agnelli, the son of FIAT's founder, was elected as the new president, and it had been a year since a new stadium had been constructed, and Juventus had won their second Italian League title in 1925–26. The 1930s were a great era for "The Old Lady," with the club winning five Italian league titles during that time.

Supporters

According to research published in September 2016 by Italian research agency Demos and Pi, The Old Lady is the best-supported club in Italy, as well as the world, with over 12 million admirers, accounting for around 34% of all Italian football fans.
