History

Before the 2017–18 season, Juventus only had women's youth teams.[4] 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.[5] On 4 August 2018 the club acquired the Serie A licence from A.S.D. Cuneo Calcio Femminile.[1][2][3] At the same time, Cuneo Calcio Femminile became an affiliated club of A.C. Cuneo 1905 for women's youth football.[6]

In Juventus' first season in 2017–18 they won the Serie A title on 20 May 2018. Juventus played against Brescia in a single-legged play-off match, as they finished the season tied at 60 points. Following a goalless draw after 120 minutes, Juventus beat Brescia 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out.[7] They won their second consecutive title on 20 April 2019,[8] and made the season a double with a Coppa Italia win, beating Fiorentina 2–1 on 28 April 2019.[9] Juventus won their third consecutive title after it was awarded on 25 June 2020, following the Italian government's decision to terminate the league on 8 June due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.[10][11][12]
