Club History
There is no clear information regarding the birth of Juventus. There is no news from those days which document it nor any official papers. The only document is the one from 1914, written by Enrico Canfari, one of the founders. It seems that it all started from the initiative of the young students of the Istituto D’Azeglio of Torino who met on the 1st of November 1897 and started Sport Club Juventus. Probably not even in the wildest dreams of those kids existed the fantasy that their “game” would turn into the most successful Italian club and one of the most prestigious in the world. The first Italian league took place in 1898, played between four teams in one day, but Juventus stayed out, only to take part in the following year, with the first official shirt being pink. The first Scudetto arrived in 1905. In 1922 the Agnelli era begun, the new stadium of Corso Marsiglia was built and the basis for the “Old Lady”, which became an Italian symbol throughout the world, was started. A passion which goes beyond the latitudes, a winning team which makes football lovers in Italy either love them or hate them.
