The Allianz Stadium (known to Juventus fans as the J-Stadium) opened in 2011 as Italy’s first football-specific stadium owned by a club. With a capacity of 41,507, it replaced the old Stadio delle Alpi and created an intimate, purpose-built arena that stands in stark contrast to Italy’s ageing shared municipal stadiums. Juventus — Italy’s most decorated club with 36 Serie A titles — play here in front of some of the country’s most committed supporters.
Getting Tickets
Tickets are sold through the official Juventus website (juventus.com). Serie A and Champions League fixtures vary in availability. The Juventus Museum inside the stadium is one of Italian football’s finest, covering the club’s vast trophy collection and history. Stadium tours run regularly.
Getting to the Stadium
The Allianz Stadium is in the Continassa district of Turin. Take the GTT tram line 9 from central Turin — journey time is about 25 minutes. On match days, shuttle buses also operate from Torino Porta Susa railway station. Turin is 2 hours from Milan by train and 1.5 hours from Genoa.
Match Day Experience
Italian football culture favours the dedicated tifosi sections behind the goals, where coordinated chanting and display create visual spectacles. The compact, enclosed design of the Allianz Stadium amplifies sound in a way the old Stadio delle Alpi never managed. Turin’s football identity is intensely and exclusively Juventus — the bianconeri black and white colours dominate the city on match days.
Around Turin
Turin is an underrated Italian city — elegant Baroque architecture, the Egyptian Museum (one of the world’s finest), the National Automobile Museum, and a sophisticated food culture featuring the Piedmontese truffle season. The royal residences and alpine backdrop from the hills above the city are spectacular.
Best Time to Visit
The Turin Derby against Torino FC is the local fixture of the season. Champions League knockout nights at the Allianz Stadium generate an intensity that Serie A fixtures rarely match.
