Juventus F.C.
--------------------------------------------------------------------   Juventus Football Club (from Latin iuventus: youth, pronounced [ju'v?ntus]), commonly referred to as simply Juventus or Juve, is a football club based in Turin, Italy. Founded in 1897 as Sport Club Juventus by some young school torinesi students, the club has spent its entire history in the top flight of Italian football (since 1929 the Lega Calcio Serie A) with the exception of one season.
  The name of the society is a literal license in Piedmontese dialect from the Latin substantive iuventus (youth in English language) and it was chosen in tribute to the youth of its founders.
  The origin of the club, according to the journalistic point of view, is shrouded in mystery, because in the ending of the nineteenth century the sport was not sufficiently widespread in Italy to capture the interest of the press. The only document regarding the birth of Juventus is the one from the ending of 1915, written by Enrico Canfari, one of the club's founders and publicated in Hurrą Juventus, the club's official magazine.
  Juventus is the most successful team in the history of Italian football. Overall, the club have won 51 official trophies, more than any other Italian team; 40 in Italy, which is also a record, and 11 in European and world competitions. The Old Lady is the third most successful club in Europe and the sixth in the world with the most international titles officially recognised by one of the six continental football confederations and FIFA.
  The club was the first Italian and Southern European side to have won the UEFA Cup. In 1985, Juventus, the only team in the world to have won all official international cups and championships (which includes all official European competitions and the Intercontinental Champions Clubs' Cup), became the first club in the history of European football to have won all three major UEFA competitions.
  In Italy, Juventus is the club which has the biggest fan base, having also one of the largest numbers of supporters in the world, with a total of 170 million Juventus's tifosi worldwide. The club is a founding member of the European Club Association, which was formed after the dissolution of the G-14, a collection of Europe's most elite clubs.
  At present, the bianconeri play their home games at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino while the stadium which the club actually owns, Stadio delle Alpi is undergoing long-term structural changes and will not be completed for use until 2011.

Stadiums
  Later, from 1909 to 1922, Juventus played its internal competitions at Corso Sebastopoli Camp, and then move from the following year until 1933 to Corso Marsiglia Camp, where he won four league titles. At the end of 1933 began to play the new stadium Benito Mussolini (former Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo and finally Stadio Olimpico di Torino), inaugurated in view of the 1934 World Championships. In that stage played 890 league matches for 57 years until 1990. Even then continued to train at this stage, until the City of Turin, in July 15, 2003, gave him a royalty-free basis to Turin, giving the same "Delle Alpi" to the company.
  Beginning in 1990 and until the 2005-06 season, the Torinese side has disputed all home matches at Stadio Delle Alpi, which was built during the World Cup Italy 1990, although in very rare circumstances, the club instead played some "home" games in other stadiums such as Renzo Barbera at Palermo, Dino Manuzzi at Cesena and the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza at Milan.
  In August 2006, the bianconeri have returned to play in the Stadio Comunale, now with the stage name of Stadio Olimpico, after the restructuring during the Winter Olympic Games, plant able to accommodate 27,168 spectators.
