On International Women’s Day – celebrated across the globe today, 8 March – Juventus reaffirms its commitment to the growth of women’s football by focusing on the next generation. Over the past ten years, the Club has been building a clear path for young female athletes, transforming the football landscape, and setting new standards for the development of young female players.

Since launching its women’s youth football program, Juventus has expanded its youth sector from Under-10s to Under-19s, with the player base growing sixfold. With teams competing at the highest levels, the Club provides a competitive and supportive environment, preparing players for the future. Each year, around 20 Juventus players on average earn national team call-ups across the U16-U19 age groups, while another 20 players gain experience on loan at Serie A and Serie B clubs.

In contrast to the statistics – research shows that around 50% of girls quit sports by age 15 due to academic pressure, body image concerns, and a lack of role models – Juventus is committed to increasing grassroots entry points and ensuring long-term participation. By expanding youth programmes and increasing visibility for women in football, the Club is working to keep more girls in the game.
