Juventus Football Club (from Latin: iuventūs, "youth"; Italian pronunciation: [juˈvɛntus]),

colloquially known as Juve (pronounced [ˈjuːve]),[4] is an Italian professional association football

club based in Turin, Piedmont. 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
Vecchia Signora ("the Old Lady"), the club has won 35 official league titles, 13 Coppa Italia titles
and eight 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.[5][6] Consequently, the side leads the historical
Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) ranking[a] whilst on the international stage occupies
the 5th position in Europe and the eleventh in the world for most confederation titles won with
eleven trophies,[8] having led the UEFA ranking during seven seasons since its inception in 1979,
the most for an Italian team and joint second overall.

Founded with the name of Sport-Club Juventus, initially as an athletics club,[9] it is the second
oldest of its kind still active in the country after Genoa's football section (1893) and has
competed uninterruptedly in the top flight league (reformulated as Serie A from 1929) since its
debut in 1900 after changing its name to Foot-Ball Club Juventus, with the exception of the
2006–07 season, being managed by the industrial Agnelli family almost continuously since 1923.
[b] The relationship between the club and that dynasty is the oldest and longest in national
sports, making Juventus the first professional sporting club ante litteram in the country,[11]
having established itself as a major force in the national stage since the 1930s and at
confederation level since the mid-1970s[12] and becoming one of the first ten wealthiest in
world football in terms of value, revenue and profit since the mid-1990s,[13] being listed on the
Borsa italiana since 2001.[14]
