DID YOU KNOW THE FIRST ITALIAN CLUBSIDE TO BUILD AND OWN THEIR STADIUM?

Juventus Turin is the first Italian club to build and own their stadium. The Juventus Staium is an all-seater association football stadium in the Valette borough of Turin, Piedmont. It was built on the site of Juventus's and Torino's former home, Stadio delle Alpi which cost €100 million. It was opened at the start of the 2011/2012 season and has a capacity of 41,000 spectators.

The opening ceremony of the stadium was held on 8 September 2011, with an historical exhibition match against Notts County, the club they share the same jersey colour with since 1903. The game ended 1-1 with goals from Luca Toni  for Juventus and Lee Hughes coming in the second half for County. In return, Notts County have extended an invitation to Juventus for a return match at Meadow Lane in 2012 to celebrate County's 150th anniversary.
