Juventus FC were founded Turin in 1897 and have become the most successful Italian team in history, winning an impressive 26 League titles, nine Italian Cups and ten international trophies by 2002. One of only two clubs (along with Internazionale FC) to have remained in Serie A since its formation in 1930, La Vecchia Signora -the Old Lady - has always been able to attract players of the highest quality.
Over the years Juve have featured such names as Giampiero Boniperti (who scored 178 goals in 460 matches), legendary keeper Dino Zoff (who appeared 476 times between 1972 and 1983), the Italian World Cup hero Paolo Rossi, Roberto Baggio, Gianluca Vialli and two of the greatest French players of all time, Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane.

However, the club had to wait until the 1970s to translate their domestic form into success on a wider stage, their first piece of European silverware coming in 1977 when they won the UEFA Cup by beating Athletic Club Bilbao in the final. A UEFA Cup Winners' Cup followed in 1984 when FC Porto were despatched 2-1.

Sadly, the first triumph in the big one - the European Champion Clubs' Cup - was overshadowed by the tragic death of 39 Italian fans before the 1985 final against Liverpool FC at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels. However, Juventus were able to celebrate in style when, in 1996, they finally tasted success again by beating AFC Ajax on penalties in the final of the UEFA Champions League. Juventus then looked set to dominate European football, reaching the next two Champions League finals only to lose them both, against BV Borussia Dortmund in 1997 and Real Madrid CF in 1998.

The 1990s had earlier seen Juventus add two more UEFA Cup triumphs to their roll of honour, beating AC Fiorentina in the 1990 final and Borussia Dortmund in 1993.

On the domestic front, Juventus celebrated their centenary in 1997 by winning their 24th title in 1997, quickly adding a 25th a year later. However, the "bianconeri" were pipped to the domestic championship on the final day of each of the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons.

Marcello Lippi rejoined the club as coach in June 2001 after a short spell at Internazionale FC and in an attempt to regain domestic and European supremacy he brought in Gianluigi Buffon and Lilian Thuram from Parma AC and Pavel Nedved from S.S. Lazio.

European success did not follow immediately and Juventus crashed out of the 2001-02 UEFA Champions League in the second group phase. However, the season ended with success for the club when this time the last match of the Serie A season saw Juventus win the championship, overhauling both holders AS Roma and Inter to bring the prize back to the Stadio Delle Alpi
.
The club is amongst the favourites to win both the Serie A and European Cup.
