Juventus continues its commitment to inclusion
It's a commitment that was also reflected in the Club's choice to support, as early as October 2024, Torino's candidacy to host EuroPride 2027 (the most important event at European level dedicated to the celebration of the international LGBT community), which was then successful. This support was translated into an official letter, signed by Chief People, Culture & ESG Officer Greta Bodino, addressed to the European Pride Organisers Association.

As written in the letter of support: "Nothing changes if we don't act". With this in mind, Juventus will continue to concretely support Torino Pride even beyond the candidacy, starting with Pride Month this year and in view of the 2027 event.
Torino Pride is an organisation that brings together over 30 associations committed to promoting human rights and fighting against all forms of discrimination. This is a truly participatory process that involves the city, institutions, schools and sports, with the aim of building a more just and inclusive society.
This choice was also strengthened by the synergy with the region and the community in which Juventus operates, in particular with the City of Turin and with the Department of Welfare, Rights and Equal Opportunities, which has always been active in promoting inclusion and shared well-being. Collaboration with local entities represents an essential value for the Club in building a supportive and active network.
This initiative fits fully into the ESG Strategy 'Black, White & More' of Juventus and, in particular, in its social pillars:

· Sustainable Glocal Club, which promotes equity and teamwork through projects with a strong social impact, both locally and internationally;
· Fan Centrality, which aims to build a cohesive and inclusive network, ensuring full access to the sporting dimension.
But this is not an isolated action: it is only the latest step in a journey that Juventus has been pursuing for some time. In April 2025, in fact, the Club published the 'People First' Policy, which clearly outlines objectives, principles and concrete actions to promote inclusion, enhance diversity, promote equal opportunities and combat all forms of discrimination.
Juventus has also already demonstrated its commitment to the issue in the past: it supported several editions of Milano Pride and, in July 2023, received the 'Italia in campo contro l'omofobia' award assigned by Arcigay for the second consecutive year. An important recognition, obtained thanks to campaigns such as "More Colorful Together", which on the occasion of Valentine's Day 2023 launched a message of universal love, telling authentic and inclusive stories.
The alliance with Torino Pride therefore represents a natural continuation, which will allow Juventus, over the next two years, to consolidate its position in defense of civil rights and to promote an increasingly respectful, open and welcoming community.

CLIVET BECOMES THE FIRST NAMING RIGHTS PARTNER OF MILANELLO
AC Milan is proud to reinforce its long-term commitment to natural comfort, innovation and sustainability by renewing and expanding its partnership with Clivet, which now becomes the Club's Official Climate Partner. The new agreement marks a significant step in the Club's ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact and to create high-performance environments through sustainable solutions. At the heart of this evolution is Milanello, AC Milan's iconic training ground – a symbol of heritage, excellence, and growth. A sacred place in the Club's history, Milanello is where legends are made and where the Rossoneri identity is forged. Today, it continues to shape the next generation of players, standing as a true temple of football that bridges tradition with innovation. Advertisement That temple is now ready for its next chapter, one made possible with Clivet, which becomes the first-ever Naming Rights Partner of the facility. Starting tomorrow, on the first day of training for the new season, it will officially be known as "Centro Sportivo Milanello powered by Clivet." Clivet brings a unique blend of innovation, efficiency, and environmental awareness, promoting healthy, high-performance spaces that place daily well-being – particularly that of athletes – at the centre, helping enhance performance. More than just a name change, this milestone reflects a shared vision for elite sporting environments where climate consciousness and excellence go hand in hand. Rooted in shared and authentic values, the partnership with Clivet becomes a strategic collaboration to not only elevate Milanello into a healthier, more efficient space but also to develop forward-thinking projects dedicated to the well-being of people and the environment - both on and off the pitch. As part of the new agreement, Clivet also becomes the Sleeve Partner of AC Milan's Training Kit, with its logo appearing on the sleeves of the official training gear worn by the Men's First Team and Women's First Team, Milan Futuro, and the men's Primavera squad. Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, commented: "We are very proud to continue our journey with Clivet – a partnership that redefines how we approach our infrastructure, transforming it into an environment where performance and sustainability thrive together. Milanello is our temple of performance, and well-being is a key pillar of that. By placing Clivet at its heart, we are not only enhancing the quality of our spaces today, but also shaping the future of training, development, and climate-conscious excellence in football." Massimiliano Venturi, Director of the Italy Business Unit at Clivet, added: "We are extremely proud to strengthen our partnership with AC Milan, a Club with which we share core values such as commitment to achieving goals and innovation. We believe that natural comfort is a key factor in sport as well: providing athletes with the right temperature and optimal air quality means putting them in the ideal conditions to express their full potential. This new chapter in our collaboration confirms our desire to contribute to the Club's success actively." Advertisement Clivet, a leader in heat pump-based systems for sustainable heating, cooling, ventilation, and air purification, has already played a key role in improving the environmental performance of the Club's infrastructure. The collaboration began before the official partnership in 2021, with early installations at the PUMA House of Football. Since then, Clivet's systems have enhanced air quality and climate control at Milanello, the Milan Futuro building, Casa Milan, and San Siro Stadium.

Three Things We Learned About Juventus At The FIFA Club World Cup

More via Getty Images) Juventus were eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup at the hands of Real Madrid but, despite their 1-0 defeat at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, there were a number of important takeaways for the Bianconeri. As they head off for a short break before regrouping for preseason training, those tasked with leading the Turin giants into the 2025/26 campaign will have learned a lot about the squad at their disposal. What follows is a look at the three most noteworthy things we learned about Juve during their four matches during this competition in the USA, starting with a major positive between the posts. Michele Di Gregorio is vital to Juventus Having played every minute of the FIFA Club World Cup, it became increasingly clear that Michele Di Gregorio is one of the club's best and most important players. The goalkeeper may have kept just one clean sheet and conceded seven goals in four games, but his quality was evident for anyone paying attention. According to Di Gregorio made no fewer than 27 saves over those appearances in this competition, that tally of 6.75 per 90 far higher than the 2.15 per 90 he made in Serie A last term. Nowhere did the 27-year-old make more impact than in the defeat to Real Madrid, pulling off a number of incredible saves to deny Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and others as he found himself repeatedly called into action. Signed last summer from AC Monza for a fee of €18 million ($19.49 million), Di Gregorio looks like a superb signing already worth far more than that initial transfer fee. He must be a cornerstone of Juve's plans for the future, while Gennaro Gattuso will surely start including him in Italy squads immediately. Juventus have serious defensive issues While Di Gregorio repeatedly spared their blushes, there was no escaping the fact that Juventus have genuine problems at the back. The Italian side possess a serious number of defenders who are simply not good enough to represent a club with ambitions of winning Serie A while competing in the UEFA Champions League. Lloyd Kelly, a €17.5 million ($20.61 million) acquisition from Newcastle United has looked completely out of his depth even given the slower pace of Italian football. Indeed, Juve have managed just six clean sheets in his 19 appearances to date, conceding a worrying 25 goals in the remaining matches. Yet, as Gleison Bremer recovers from his serious injury, Kelly is far from the only substandard defender in black and white. Daniele Rugani returned from yet another loan that has failed to lead to a move away, his time at Ajax ending just as spells with Cagliari and Rennes did. Back in the Juve lineup against Real Madrid, the once-promising defender looked to be the same timid, nervous player the club has given up on three times already. Set to turn 31 later this month, it is clear Rugani is never going to be a viable option for the Bianconeri who need to add reinforcements quickly. Compounding the feeling of desperation for defenders was the sight of Dean Huijsen starting for Real Madrid. The 20-year-old joined the Spanish side in May, completing a €59.5 million ($70.08 million) move from Bournemouth just 10 months after Juve sold him to the Premier League outfit for a mere €15.2 million ($17.90 million). 'I am surprised that Juventus didn't see the clear potential of the boy,' Fabio Capello – who managed both Juve and Real Madrid told La Gazzetta dello Sport this week. 'Huijsen didn't just suddenly become good. If he's playing for Real Madrid at 20, he's surely good enough for Juventus.' Juventus' Kenan Yildiz is a genuine star Besides Di Gregorio, arguably the only other positive for Juventus from the Club World Cup were the performances of Kenan Yildiz. The Turkey international used the tournament as something of a personal showcase, delivering some stunning performances and sensational goals along the way. Indeed, in 251 minutes of action over his four appearances in the US, Yildiz weighed in with three goals and two assists, consistently at the heart of everything positive his side produced. Juventus must hold onto him while seeking solutions for other problems in the team, as they quickly learn the lessons of a tournament that saw them record just two wins and two losses in four outings.
