Juventus U19

Despite an extensive international scouting network, the club has historically placed importance on nurturing local talent and continues to do so. One proof of this is the fact of the Italy national team, coached by Enzo Bearzot during the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, was mainly composed of young Juventus players – nicknamed the Blocco-Juve ("Juve-Block") – who formed the backbone of the national team. Examples include Roberto Bettega, Giuseppe Furino and Paolo Rossi, all former members at the Juventus youth program (then known as Nucleo Addestramento Giovani Calciatori or N.A.G.C.).

Graduates of the youth sector ply their trade in other Serie A clubs and top-flight leagues around Europe. More recently the 2012–13 Scudetto-winning squad featured Paolo De Ceglie, second vice-captain Claudio Marchisio, Sebastian Giovinco and Luca Marrone; the latter three were born and raised in the Turin area.

In 2018, Juventus formed a reserve team, Juventus Under-23, and was officially admitted to the Serie C. The club cannot play in the same division—or higher—as their senior team, nor can they compete in the Coppa Italia. They won their first trophy in their second year as a club, after beating Ternana in the 2020 Coppa Italia Serie C final.

From 2021, all clubs with teams competing in the Campionato Primavera 1 (under-19) also have to participate in the under-18 championship. However, since Juventus already have a reserve team they have the choice on whether or not to participate in the under-18 championship.
