Juventus
Juventus Football Club (from Latin [1] iuventus: youth, IPA: [ju.ˈvɛn.tus]); (pronounced yoo-ven-toos) also known as Juventus Turin (or Juventus Torino), Juventus F.C., Juventus, or simply Juve, is a football club from Turin. The club plays in the FIGC Serie B (Italian Second Division) as a consequence of the 2006 Serie A scandal, for the first time [2] in their history. Juventus is the most successful club [2] in the history of Italian football [3] and, with 11 official international titles in its honours, is the third club in Europe [4] and fifth club in the world [4] with the most international titles recognized by the Union of European Football Associations [5] and the International Federation of Association Football. In 1985, Juventus became the first club in the history of the European football to have won all three Major European trophies [6] and also, the only team in the world to have won all international cups and championships [5] (which includes all official European tournaments [5] and the Intercontinental Champions Clubs' Cup [7]). Juventus is also one of the G-14’s founding members, a group that represents eighteen of the largest and most prestigious [8] European football clubs. During its history, the club has acquired a number of nicknames, la Vecchia Signora (the Old Lady) being the best example [9]. This nickname, globally famous, was derived by the standard of living of then founders, all young torinesi students, in the latest years of the nineteenth century. The club is also nicknamed la Fidanzata d'Italia (the Girlfriend of Italy), because the club was highly supported by the immigrant workers from Italy's south, who arrived in Turin to work for FIAT since the third decade of twentieth century. The others Juventus’ nicknames, I bianconeri (the black-and-whites) and le zebre (The zebras [10]) has derived by its institutional colours: black and white since 1903. Full article on Wikipedia
