Football club
Juventus Football Club (from Latin: iuventūs, 🎅 'youth'; Italian pronunciation: [juˈvɛntus]), colloquially known as Juve ( pronounced [ˈjuːve]),[5] is an Italian professional football club based in Turin, 🎅 Piedmont, that competes in the Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. Founded in 1897 by 🎅 a group of Torinese students, the club has worn a black and white striped home kit since 1903 and has 🎅 played home matches in different grounds around its city, the latest being the 41,507-capacity Juventus Stadium. Nicknamed la Vecchia Signora 🎅 ("the Old Lady"), the club has won 36 official league titles, 14 Coppa Italia titles and nine Supercoppa Italiana titles, 🎅 being the record holder for all these competitions; two Intercontinental Cups, two European Cups / UEFA Champions Leagues, one European 🎅 Cup Winners' Cup, a joint national record of three UEFA Cups, two UEFA Super Cups and a joint national record 🎅 of one UEFA Intertoto Cup.[6][7] Consequently, the side leads the historical Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) classification,[c] whilst on the 🎅 international stage the club occupies the sixth position in Europe and the twelfth in the world for most confederation titles 🎅 won with eleven trophies,[9] as well as the fourth in the all-time Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) competitions ranking,[d] 🎅 having obtained the highest coefficient score during seven seasons since its introduction in 1979, the most for an Italian team 🎅 in both cases and joint second overall in the last cited.
Founded with the name of Sport-Club Juventus, initially as an 🎅 athletics club,[11] it is the second oldest of its kind still active in the country after Genoa's football section (1893) 🎅 and has competed every season of the premier club division (reformulated in different formats until the Serie A inception in 🎅 1929) since its debut in 1900 with the exception of the 2006–07 season, being managed by the industrial Agnelli family 🎅 almost continuously since 1923.[e] The relationship between the club and that dynasty is the oldest and longest in national sports, 🎅 making Juventus one of the first professional sporting clubs ante litteram in the country, having established itself as a major 🎅 force in the national stage since the 1930s and at confederation level since the mid-1970s,[14] and becoming, in a nearly 🎅 stable basis, one of the top-ten wealthiest in world football in terms of value, revenue and profit since the mid-1990s,[15] 🎅 being listed on the Borsa Italiana since 2001.[16]
