About Juventus
Founded on 1 July 2017 after acquiring the licence of Cuneo Calcio, the women's section of Juventus FC, (also nicknamed la Vecchia Signora for the Old Lady in Italian), is based in Turin, Piedmont. Taking advantage of the opportunity offered by the Italian Football Federation, Juventus acquired the licence of Cuneo Calcio, allowing its women's team to enter the top flight directly.
In their first season (2017/18), under the guidance of coach Rita Guarino, the team won the Italian championship and achieved the Cup-Championship double the following year.
After winning 5 consecutive league titles between 2018 and 2022, the Bianconere saw AS Roma win the scudetto in 2023 and 2024.
