Juventus Football Club is an Italian professional association football club based in Turin, Piedmont that competes in Serie A, the top football league in the country. The club was formed in 1897 as Sport Club Juventus by a group of Massimo d'Azeglio Lyceum young students and played its first competitive match on 11 March 1900, when it entered the Piedmont round of the third Federal Championship. [1]
This list encompasses the major honours won by Juventus and records set by the club, their managers and their players. The individual records section includes details of the club's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions. The club's players have received, among others, a record twelve Serie A Footballer of the Year, the award given by the Italian Footballers' Association (AIC), eight Ballon d'Or awards and four FIFA World Player of the Year awards, more than any other Italian club and third overall in the latter two cases.
Italy's most successful club of the 20th century [2] with the most title in the history of Italian football, [3] Juventus have won the Italian League Championship, the country's premier football club competition and organised by Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A (LNPA), a record 36 times and have the record of consecutive triumphs in that tournament (nine, between 2011–12 and 2019–20). [4] [5] They have also won the Coppa Italia, the country's primary single-elimination competition, a record fifteen times, becoming the first team to retain the trophy successfully with their triumph in the 1959–60 season, and the first to win it in three consecutive seasons from the 2014–15 season to the 2016–17 season, going on to win a fourth consecutive title in 2017–18 (also a record). [6] In addition, the club holds the record for Supercoppa Italiana wins with nine, the most recent coming in 2020.
Overall, Juventus have won 71 official competitions, [nb 1] more than any other club in the country: 60 at national level (which is also a record) and eleven at international stage, [7] making them, in the latter case, the second most successful Italian team. [8] The club is currently sixth in Europe and twelfth in the world with the most international titles won officially recognised by their respective continental football confederation and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). [9] In 1977, the Torinese side become the first in Southern Europe to have won the UEFA Cup and the first—and only to date—in Italian football history to achieve an international title with a squad composed by national footballers. [10] In 1993, the club won its third competition's trophy, an unprecedented feat in the continent until then, a confederation record for the next 22 years and the most for an Italian team. Juventus was also the first club in the country to achieve the title in the European Super Cup, having won the competition in 1984, and the first European side to win the Intercontinental Cup in 1985, since it was restructured by Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL)'s organizing committee five years beforehand. [11]
The club has earned the distinction of being allowed to wear three golden stars (Italian : stelle d'oro) on its shirts representing its league victories: the tenth of which was achieved during the 1957–58 season, the twentieth in the 1981–82 season and the thirtieth officially in the 2013–14 season. Juventus were the first Italian team to have achieved the national double four times (winning the Italian top tier division and the national cup competition in the same season), in the 1959–60, 1994–95, 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons. In the 2015–16 season, Juventus won the Coppa Italia for the eleventh time and their second-straight title, becoming the first team in Italy's history to complete Serie A and Coppa Italia doubles in back-to-back seasons; Juventus would go on to win another two consecutive doubles in 2016–17 and 2017–18. [13] [14] [15]
In 1985, Juventus became the first club in the history of European football to have won all three major UEFA competitions, the European Champion Clubs' Cup, the (now-defunct) UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup, [12] [16] being also the only one to reach it with the same coach. [17] After their triumph in the Intercontinental Cup in the same year, Juventus also became the first football team ever—remaining the only one at 2022—to have won all possible official confederation tournaments. [18] [19] [20]
Only in the 1910s the club has not won any official competition, a unique case in the country. In terms of overall official trophies won, Juventus' most successful decade was the 2010s. In that period the club won eighteen competitions, ahead of the 1980s and 1990s (both with eleven titles). [21]
As one of the most successful sportive clubs in Italy and the world, Juventus have received during their history of important national and international special recognitions, among them:

The 2001–02 season was Juventus Football Club's 104th in existence and 100th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. Juventus ended a three-year drought of league titles, following a remarkable turnaround in fortunes during the final days of the season, when Inter suffered from a collapse of nerves in the closing stages. On the final day of the league season, Juventus won 2–0 away from home against Udinese, while Inter fell at Lazio 4–2, despite leading twice. That handed Juventus its 26th Serie A title, and made up for the disappointing exit from the second group stage in the UEFA Champions League. Juventus also reached the 2002 Coppa Italia final, but were defeated by Parma on away goals following a 2–2 draw on aggregate.
Mattia Perin is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie A club Juventus.

The 2017–18 season was Juventus Football Club's 120th in existence and 11th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. Due to sponsorship reasons, from 1 July 2017 until 30 June 2023, the Juventus Stadium was known as the Allianz Stadium of Turin. During the previous season, president Agnelli announced that a new Juventus logo would be introduced, revealing a video showing the introduction of the new logo. The logo shows the word Juventus on top, with two capital Js shown together in different fonts with a small opening between them to almost make a bigger J. Agnelli said that the logo reflects "the Juventus way of living". In this season, Juventus introduced their new logo on the kits. On 16 February 2018, the first three episodes of a docu-series called First Team: Juventus, which followed the club throughout the season, by spending time with the players behind the scenes both on and off the field, was released on Netflix; the other three episodes were released on 6 July 2018.
