Juventus are the most successful Italian team of all-time. The Old Lady of Italian football have seen many ups and downs over the years, but are currently one of the top teams on the peninsula. The club have the largest fanbase of any Italian team. In 2016, research found that 34% of Italy’s total football fans were supporters of Juventus. With so many fans domestically and around the globe, there is always a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Juventus. No matter if it is Serie A, the Coppa Italia, or Champions League, supporters demand success each season. 

About Juventus 

Juventus are one of two teams located in the northern Italian city of Turin. Torino is the other club and are traditionally the smaller of the two. While Juventus are able to attract fans from all over Italy, Torino’s fanbase is more localised. 
Of the two clubs, Juventus were the first to be formed. In 1897, Juventus were formed thanks to the factories in Turin as it drew from the enormous number of workers that had relocated to the northern city. Thanks to the factories that opened in the late 1800s in Turin, the town blossomed into a thriving city.

Juventus’s famous black and white shirts can be traced back to English football club Notts County. The club originally wore pink shirts, and in need of some new tops, one of the team’s English players arranged for some shirts to be sent from England. The shirts that arrived were the same ones worn by Notts County. 

It is difficult to imagine a time period in Italy that Juventus were not the country’s most dominant team. The Calciopoly match-fixing scandal of the mid-2000s was the club’s lowest point. Yet, it didn’t take long for Juventus to return to the top of Italian football. Thanks to a strong backing of fans from around the world and financial stability that many Italian teams do not have, Juventus are often challengers for trophies domestically and on the continent. This season could see more silverware go to the Old Lady.
