Juventus F.C. Under-23, also known as Juventus U23 or colloquially as Juventus B, is an Italian football team which acts as Juventus' reserve team. They play their home games at the Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta in Alessandria, a comune about 100km away from Turin, the home city of the football club.

Founded in 2018, Juventus U23 competes in Serie C, the third level of the Italian football league system. The team plays in the same professional league system as their senior team, rather than a separate league dedicated for youth teams. However, the reserve team cannot play in the same division as their senior team, making Juventus U23 ineligible for promotion to the Serie A.

History

Juventus Under-23 was founded on 3 August 2018[1] following the reintroduction of reserve teams in Italian football after over sixty years and was officially admitted to the Serie C championship.[2] On 21 August, Luca Zanimacchia became the first scorer of the team's history after scoring the only goal in a 1–0 win over Cuneo in the first round of the Coppa Italia Serie C.[3]
