Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (from Latin[5] iuventus: youth, IPA pronunciation for Italian language [juˈvɛntus]), commonly referred to as Juventus and colloquially as Juve (pronounced [ˈjuːve]),[6] is a professional Italian association football club based in Turin, Piedmont. The club is the third oldest of its kind in the country and has spent the majority of its history, with the exception of the 2006–07 season, in the top flight First Division (known as Serie A since 1929).
Founded in 1897 as Sport Club Juventus by a group of young Torinese students,[3] among them, who was their first president, Eugenio Canfari, and his brother Enrico, author of the company's historical memory;[7][8][9] they have been managed by the industrial Agnelli family since 1923, which constitutes the oldest sporting partnership in Italy, thus making Juventus the first professional club in the country.[10][11]
Over time, the club has become a symbol of the nation's Italianità ("Italianness"),[12][13][14] due to their tradition of success, some of which have had a significant impact in Italian society, especially in the 1930s and the first post-war decade;[15] and the ideological politics and socio-economic origin of the club's sympathisers.[16] This is reflected, among others, in the club's contribution to the national team, uninterrupted since the second half of the 1920s and recognised as one of the most influential in international football, having performed a decisive role in the World Cup triumphs of 1934, 1982 and 2006.[17][18] The club's fan base is larger than any other Italian football club and is one of the largest worldwide. Support for Juventus is widespread throughout the country and abroad, mainly in countries with a significant presence of Italian immigrants.[19][20]
Juventus is historically the most successful club in Italian football and one of the most laureated and important globally.[21][22][23] Overall, they have won fifty-nine official titles on the national and international stage, more than any other Italian club: a record thirty-one official league titles, a record ten Italian cups, a record seven national super cups, and, with eleven titles in confederation and inter-confederation competitions (two Intercontinental Cups, two European Champion Clubs' Cup/UEFA Champions Leagues, one European Cup Winners' Cup, three UEFA Cups, one UEFA Intertoto Cup and two UEFA Super Cups) the club ranks fourth in Europe and eighth in the world with the most trophies won.
