Juventus Football Club S.p.A.

Juventus were founded as Sport Club Juventus in late 1897 by pupils from the Massimo D'Azeglio Lyceum school in Turin and then renamed as 'Foot-Ball Club Juventus' two years later. The club joined the Italian Football Championship in 1900. It is the most popular team in Italy as measured by supporters clubs and the largest as measured by turnover, although match attendances are only 4th or 5th highest in Serie A. The club claims a figure of 170 million 'tifosi' (supporters) worldwide. Since 2008 the 'bianconeri' have been playing home games at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino whilst the stadium which the club owns, the Stadio delle Alpi, undergoes a re-building slated to be finished by 2011.

Turnover and pre-tax profit figures are in Euro millions.
