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. Jersey

A team like Juventus is condemned to win, and failure cannot be tolerated. A season which ends in second place and without
the win of a continental trophy is considered a failure. The new Juve does not go after results through spending millions
in the transfer market, but instead building a good environment and transmitting to its players the importance of the shirt
they are wearing. Whoever joins Juventus must breathe that air of history, triumphs, that atmosphere that makes them understand
that on the pitch they must give their all to the Bianconeri cause. Whoever plays with Juventus, remains a Juventino for the
rest of his life. This year there won"t even be the last Agnelli symbol to guide the team with his punchy declarations, on
the bench there will be Capello, who was a historical symbol of the Vecchia Signora"s opponents, but the imperative is always
the same. To win.
