Juventus Football Club (from Latin: iuventūs, 'youth'; Italian pronunciation: [juˈvɛntus]), colloquially known as Juventus Women, Juventus, or simply Juve (pronounced [ˈjuːve]), is a women's football club based in Turin, Piedmont, Italy. It was established in 2017 as the women's section of Juventus, following an acquisition of the sporting license of Cuneo Calcio Femminile.

The team has competed in Serie A, the top flight in national football, since its debut in 2017–18 season, and has won four league titles, one Coppa Italia title, and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. In 2020–21, the club equaled Torres' national record for consecutive league titles won (4), also becoming the first in Italian football history, men or women, to accomplish a perfect season having won all their league matches.

History[]

Juventus' general manager Giuseppe Marotta announced in May 2017 that the club was planning to form a women's team.[1] The women's section of Juventus was officially formed on 1 July 2017.[2] Despite there being other women's football clubs in Turin in the past, such as the defunct Real Juventus and the still existing  [it], which have adopted the name "Juventus" and the black and white colours, these have never had any connection with the men's club.[2]

Colloquially known as Juventus Women,[3] the team was formed thanks to the possibility given by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) to professional men's clubs to purchase amateur women's clubs. Already active in women's youth football since 2015,[4] Juventus acquired the sporting licence of Serie A club Cuneo,[5] which in the meantime had dissolved,[3] allowing the newly-formed team to directly compete in the Italian top division.[6]

Under the tenure of Rita Guarino,[7] Juventus quickly emerged as a dominating force in Italy, winning three consecutive league titles in their first three years of activity.[8] Juventus' first game was on 27 August 2017, in a 13–0 away victory over Torino in the first leg of the first round of  [it] with Martina Rosucci as first scorer of team's history.[9] In  [it], Juventus' first season, the club was tied with Brescia for first place in the league at 60 points.[10] The two clubs played a single-legged play-off match where, following a goalless draw after 120 minutes, Juventus beat Brescia 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out.[10] In  [it], they won a domestic double, winning their second Serie A title and their first Coppa Italia.[11] The following season, Juventus won both the Supercoppa Italiana, their first title,[12] and their third consecutive league title.[8]

In the 2020–21 season, Juventus won their second Supercoppa Italiana,[13] and their fourth consecutive league title, becoming only the second club to achieve this feat after Torres in 2013.[14] They finished the season winning all 22 league matches, becoming the first team in the Italian women's top flight to accomplish a perfect season.[15]

On 21 May 2021, Guarino announced that she would leave Juventus at end of the season.[16] On 8 June, Joe Montemurro was hired in her place.[17]
