At that time, some students from Massimo Dazerio Middle School in Turin formed a football team. Every afternoon after school, they enthusiastically participate in training and competitions. Although football was not very popular in Apennine Peninsula at that time, these high-spirited middle school students decided to set up a football club. Their bold ideas were supported by the headmaster.

After many discussions and discussions, the first meeting in the history of Juventus Club was held on1October 1 1 at Canfari Brothers Factory, located at No.42 King Street, umberto. There were 15 people present at the inaugural meeting, the youngest being 14 and the oldest being 17.
When discussing the name, some people suggested "Massimo Dazerio" and others suggested "Juventus". The word Juventus means "young man" in Latin. Because the name is similar to the age and status of the participants, it was finally officially named "Juventus Club". Explaining the name, a participant said: "The name Juventus means forever full of vigor, vitality and never aging."

Limited by the textile technology at that time, the uniform of Juventus Club was light red when it was founded, which was easily confused with AC Milan and other teams. 1903, Enrique Canfari, the president of the club, went to London to attend the European Textile Congress and stopped at Newcastle United in England. The hospitable host gave Canfari 20 sets of competition clothes. Since then, the black and white sword has become the symbol of Juventus Club (black stands for strength and white stands for purity). This simple and elegant uniform has been used to this day. In Italy, people used to call Juventus the "Black and White Legion", while in distant China, it is more commonly called the "Bianconeri".
1903, Juventus Club broke through the tight encirclement and reached the semi-finals of the League of Nations, but was eliminated by Genoa 0-3. 1905, Alfred Dick, the owner of a Swiss textile factory, was elected as the new chairman.

In this year's national football league, Juventus won the championship and became the Italian league champion for the first time.
