A bench in Corso Re Umberto, one of noble boulevards in downtown Torino.
A group of friends, with the passion for football, a special game that had recently been “imported” from England, met on a bench. They had an intriguing idea, to create a Sports Club. The boys attended the “Massimo D’Azeglio” high school which specialized in Classical Studies, they were well educated but the eldest was only 17 years old. This paved the way for the name, in old Latin language the name “Juventus” means youth. They weren’t yet aware of it, but on 1st November 1897, they had given birth to a legend.
The nicknames of this club are the old lady, the Zebras, the girlfriends of Italy, the White-Blacks, the lady killer, and Hunchback.
Since the club established, they won 30 scudettos, which is normally recognized as 28, 2 intercontinental cup, 2 Champions league, 1 UEFA winners cup-later changed to Champions league, 3 Europa Cup, 2 super cup, 1 intertoto cup, 9 Italian cup, and 5 Italian super cup.
Star players who have played for the old lady are Alessandro del piero, Roberto Baggio, Zlatan ibrahimovic, Zinedine Zidane, Gianluigi Buffon, Pavel Nedved, David Trezeguet, and Edgar Davids.
They've won the trophy last season, and now they are targeting the top place of Europe, which means the champion of Europe.
