Juventus

Juventus Football Club, also known as Juventus Turin (or Juventus Torino), Juventus FC, or simply Juve (Latin word for Youth, pronounced /ju.'ven.tus/), together with Torino F.C. 1906, are the main clubs from Turin, Italy. The club currently plays in the Italian Second Division, Serie B.

Founded in 1897, Juventus is one of the oldest and most renowned football clubs of the country (together with A.C. Milan and F.C. Internazionale Milano) and, historically, one of the most successful football clubs of the world with 11 official international titles. Juventus was the first club to have won all three Major European trophies at least once: the European Cup, the (now-defunct) Cup Winner's Cup and the UEFA Cup, a feat achieved by only two other clubs since. Juventus is also the only team in the world to have won all international official championships (all official European tournaments and the Intercontinental Champions Club' Cup).

With 40 official national titles in team honours (27 National Championships, 9 National Cups and 4 Italian Supercups), Juventus is the most successful Italian football club.

Juventus is nicknamed la Vecchia Signora (the Old Lady, by the first official name and the Style of the club), La Fidanzata d'Italia (the Italian Girlfriend, by the supporters), i bianconeri (black-and-whites, which are the colours of the club), zebre (zebras), or depreciatively gobbi (humpbacks, from latin goeba) by rival supporters

Juventus were one of the founding members of the G-14, a group that represents the eighteen main football clubs of Europe.

Juventus F.C. were at the centre of the 2006 Serie A scandal and will not be permitted to compete in major Italian and European competions during the 2006/07 season. They were also relegated from Serie A (the Italian first division) for the first time in their history.
