Exterior of Juventus Stadium

Juventus Arena or the Allianz Stadium for sponsorship reasons first opened on 8th September 2011 and since then it has proven to be a fortress for The Old Lady. Constructed on the site of the former Stadio Delle Alpi very much in the English mould, it is rightly so the envy of opposition fans across the peninsula.

Allianz Stadium History

The Juventus Stadium first opened on 8th September 2011 with the opening ceremony and inaugural match held against the oldest professional football club Notts County, who provided the inspiration for The Old Lady’s famous black and white stripes. Three days later the first Serie A match was held against Parma with Stephan Lichsteiner scoring the first goal during the 17th minute.

Previously the club had played their home matches at the municipally owned Stadio delle Alpi which was constructed for Italia 90. The stadium proved to be incredibly unpopular with fans due to the athletics track and  attracted on average less than third of the stadium’s total 67,000 capacity.

In 2003 Juventus negotiated a deal to purchase the stadium from the council and temporarily moved into the newly renovated Stadio Olimpico. In November 2008 the club revealed that they intended to demolish the Delle Alpi and create a brand stadium on the same site, at a cost of €100 million.

Two years later the new stadium was completed becoming the first self-financed and club owned stadium in Italy. With a new precedent set for Italian Football there are hopes that Juventus’ Stadium can inspire other teams to follow the English and German model of purpose-built stadiums.

During the 2013/2014 season, Juventus Stadium hosted the Europa League final between Sevilla and Benfica, with the Spaniards winning 4-2 on penalties. The Old Lady had a chance to play the final in their own back yard but narrowly lost out in the semi-finals to the Portuguese giants.

From the 1st July 2017 Juventus announced that the ground would officially be known as the Allianz Stadium of Turin until 2023 – at least for the next six seasons.

Matchday Experience

Allianz Stadium Away Section

Away fans are housed in a small corner section within the north-east stand which is separated from the home supporters by perspex screens. The standard ticket allocation for the travelling supporters is usually 2,000 however it’s only really full for big Champions League matches and when Juventus Serie A rivals come to town.

The relatively low roof helps the acoustics of the ground greatly, with noise exchanged between the away section and the opposite ultra end, the curva sud. Views of the pitch are generally great although the cable support and barrier to the pitch can restrict the minority of sight lines.

Best Pubs near ground

Juventus Arena sits at the heart of a wider commercial area known as the Area 12 shopping centre. As well as containing over 60 shops, and several restaurants from sit-down Italians to fast food, Area 12 also contains two bars where you can grab a drink from before kick-off.

Within the city centre there are a number of watering holes where you can drink before and after the match with the map containing some of the more popular pubs amongst football fans.

Food - Places to eat

Towards the north-east quadrant of the ground on Via Torino Druento there is a franchise of the omnipresent McDonald’s burger chain which predictably does a roaring trade on matchdays.

Besides this recognisable name there is a scattering of independently run pizza places dotted around the ground including the likes of Restorante Mucca Pazza Venaria, La Piazzetta and Pizzeria O’Sole Mio.
