Juventus History
CLUB HONOURS

Without doubt the 'Old Lady' as she affectionately known is the most famous and successful team in Italian football. Based in Turin the team typically plays in black-and-white striped shirts and black shorts (but for decades in white shorts).

The club's stadium is the 69,041-seat Stadio Delle Alpi, which it used to share with Torino until the 2004–05 season.

Juventus F.C. was founded in November 1897 by students from Massimo D'Azeglio Lyceum, and won a previous version of the national league titles as early as 1905, but did not win their second until 1926. In 1923, the Agnelli family (owners of Fiat) gained control of the club, and built a private stadium in Villar Perosa (near Turin) and a complete series of facilities and services.

From 1931, the club won five consecutive Italian league championships (Italian scudetto). In 1933, they began playing at the Stadio Comunale. Post-war the club was very successful domestically, winning its tenth championship in 1961, but did not win any European titles until 1977 with the UEFA Cup. The height of European success was not reached until 1985, when they won the European Champions Cup, and then repeated the success in 1996. Juventus also won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1984 and two more UEFA Cup (1990, 1993). They have won 27 Italian titles and nine Coppa Italias to date, both national records. The club is also one of only four to have won all three major European trophies.

Juventus is now a corporation, listed on Milan's stock exchange. The sale of Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid of Spain was the most expensive in football to date, costing the Spanish club over $64 million (US).

They were relegated to Seria B in 2006 after being found guilty for their part in the biggest scandal to ever hit Italian soccer. Now back in Seria A they are once again a force to be reckoned with.
