Description:

Juventus = youth in Latin. Formed on November 1, 1897 by students of the Liceo Massimo d'Azeglio at their regular meeting place on a bench on Corso Re Umberto. Juve is pronounced YOU-vay. Juventus has been owned for years by the Agnelli family, who also own Fiat, although technically Juventus is a now a publicly-traded company. The black and white striped jerseys are actually taken from English club Notts County. An early club member visited England and, liking the jerseys, brought back a set for the club. The club are relegated to Serie B for the first time in their history for the 2006-07 season as punishment for their involvement in the recent match-fixing scandal. The 2005 and 2006 titles were also revoked.

Stadio Olimpico:

The Stadio Olimpico hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. The club owns their previous ground the Stadio delle Alpi which is currently being redeveloped. Previous stadiums - Piazza d'Armi (1900-23), Corso Marsiglia (1923-33), Stadio Communale (1933-90), Stadio delle Alpi (1990-2006).
