Lore & Background

Juventus was founded as Sport-Club Juventus in late 1897 by students from the Massimo d'Azeglio Lyceum school in Turin. The club won its first Italian championship in 1905. Under the Agnelli family, who have owned the club since 1923, Juventus dominated the 1930s with five consecutive league titles between 1931 and 1935. The club later enjoyed success under Giovanni Trapattoni in the late 1970s and 1980s, becoming the first club to win all three major UEFA competitions and the first to complete a clean sweep of international trophies. Under Marcello Lippi in the 1990s, Juventus won five league titles and the 1996 Champions League. Between 2012 and 2020, Juventus won a record nine consecutive Serie A titles.
