Brought to you by the Italian soccer giants want to centralise all their teams in the Continassa area of Turin. Getty Images Italian soccer giants Juventus are planning to build a secondary stadium to host its women’s and youth team matches in close vicinity to the Allianz Stadium, according to the club. The venue would have a capacity of between 3,500 and 5,000 and has been earmarked for construction in the same Continassa district of Turin as the Allianz Stadium, potentially in a disused adjacent building. The idea of a second stadium had been discussed last year, according to Italian publication Tuttosport, with Juventus president Andrea Agnelli previously denying that these discussion took place. However, Agnelli has revealed that the plan is in fact in motion and that a new stadium is at the forefront of Juventus’ future direction. Agnelli said: “Investments in the real estate sector are planned to finally give a home to the women and the Under-23s, in order to allow them to play in Turin and not in Novara or in Alessandria.” Currently, Juventus women’s team play their domestic fixtures in Vivovo at a 400 capacity facility roughly 14 kilometres from Turin. However, they play their European fixtures in Novara, which is 96 kilometres away from Turin. Similarly, Juventus under-23s plays their fixtures in Alessandria which is also more than 90 kilometres away from Turin. The move to develop a central hub for all of Juventus’ affiliate teams has the potential to boost interest and attendance figures for both the women’s and under-23’s fixtures. Juventus women set a domestic record this season for attendance at a women’s soccer game. The match between Fiorentina, held at the Allianz Stadium, drew in more than 39,000 spectators. On the pitch, Juventus women’s team secured a domestic double by winning the league title and Coppa Italia, defeating Fiorentina 2-0 in the final.
Juventus FC plans to build a second stadium to host its women’s and youth team matches. The facility will have a capacity of up to 5,000 and is set to be located in Turin, the same district of Continassa as the club's Allianz Stadium. Juventus' women's and youth teams currently play their games at several venues outside Continassa, including Novara, Vinovo and Alessandria.
