Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (from Latin iuventūs, "youth"; Italian pronunciation: [juˈvɛntus]), also known as Juve (pronounced [ˈjuːve]) or with the commercial name of Juventus Women (/juˈvɛntus wɪmɪn/), is an Italian women's association football club based in Turin, section of the homonymous professional football club. It was established in 2017 by acquiring the Serie A license of a Cuneo-based team Cuneo Calcio Femminile.[2][3][4] The team competes in Serie A since its debut in 2017–18 season.
History
Before the 2017–18 season, Juventus only had women's youth teams.[5] A club playing under the name A.S.D. Femminile Juventus Torino in Serie B and Serie A in the past has no connection to Juventus F.C.
Juventus' general manager Giuseppe Marotta announced in May 2017 that the club would found a women's team.[6] On 4 August 2018 the club acquired the Serie A licence from A.S.D. Cuneo Calcio Femminile.[2][3][4] At the same time, Cuneo Calcio Femminile became an affiliated club of A.C. Cuneo 1905 for girl youth football.[7]
In Juventus’ first season in 2017–18, Juventus won the Serie A title on 20 May 2018, beating Brescia 5–4 in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw in the single match play-off triggered because the two teams finished the season tied at 60 points.[8]
