"Compared to other European countries, women's football took some time to establish itself in Italy. It was only in 2015 that the Italian FA allowed men's clubs to officially include women's teams in their structures. Juventus were quick to take that up, creating a youth section for girls and women that same year. However, it took two more years for the Turin club to fully establish a professional team."
"On 1 July 2017, Juventus took over the right to play in Serie A from Cuneo Calcio - a date that marks the beginning of a new dominant force. Le Bianconere claimed the title in their very first season, winning 22 and drawing only two of their 24 matches to mark their arrival on the biggest domestic stage in style."
"That dominance continued over the following five seasons as Juventus lifted the title again and again. They made history in 2020/21 by becoming the first team in Italy to achieve a perfect campaign, winning all 22 of their matches, not dropping a single point. That record is far more than a simple statistic. It underlines Juventus' dominance of the ever increasing professional Italian game."
Juventus established a women's program rapidly after the Italian FA allowed men's clubs to add women's teams in 2015, creating youth sections that led to a professional side in 2017. Juventus acquired a Serie A spot from Cuneo Calcio and immediately won the league, claiming 22 wins and two draws in their debut season. The club dominated domestic competition for subsequent seasons and completed a perfect 2020/21 campaign with 22 wins and zero points dropped. After a brief two-year title drought to Roma, Juventus regained the championship but began the current season with a goalless draw and a mixed start.
