About Juventus Stadium
Juventus Stadium — officially known as Allianz Stadium since 2017 following a naming rights agreement — is the home ground of Juventus FC, one of Italy's most decorated football clubs. Located in the Continassa district of Turin, this purpose-built arena opened in 2011 and stands as Italy's first privately owned football-specific stadium.
A Modern Football Venue in an Historic City
With a seating capacity of approximately 41,507, Allianz Stadium was designed by the architectural firm Populous and replaced the aging Stadio delle Alpi. Unlike many Italian grounds, it was built exclusively for football, placing fans closer to the pitch and improving sightlines throughout. The stadium also earned UEFA's four-star rating, reflecting its facilities and infrastructure.
Stadium Tour and Museum
Visitors can explore the venue through official guided tours, which include access to the pitch-side area, the players' tunnel, the dressing rooms, and the presidential box. The on-site Juventus Museum traces the club's history from its founding in 1897, displaying trophies, jerseys, and multimedia exhibits. The museum and tour combination makes this a worthwhile stop for football enthusiasts visiting Turin.
