What is Juventus Academy
The Juventus Academy project was born to bring the colours, methods and values of Juventus to as many kids as possible. With over 80 academies on all continents, it offers football skills development together with educational training, accompanying young players from their first steps in the game to maturity.
The philosophy is simple: raising people before footballers. Training follows the Juventus way, and fun is at the centre of every activity. Programmes are open to every skill level, with respect for each child's mental and physical well-being.
The most important event of the project is the Juventus Academy World Cup, a tournament in Turin that brings thousands of kids from academies around the world every year.
