Juventus Next Gen (Italian pronunciation: [juˈvɛntus nɛkst dʒɛn]), also known as Juve Next Gen or Juve NG (pronounced [ˈjuːve ˈɛn ˈdʒiː]), is a professional football club based in Turin, Piedmont, Italy, which acts as the reserve team of Serie A club Juventus. They compete in Serie C Group C, and play their home games at the Stadio La Marmora-Pozzo in Biella.
Following the reintroduction of reserve teams in Italy, Juventus U23 was formed in 2018 and was registered to Serie C, the third level of the Italian league system. In the first years, the team reached the promotion play-off stages of Serie C, without gaining promotion. In the 2019–20 season, under coach Fabio Pecchia, Juventus U23 won the Coppa Italia Serie C after defeating Ternana in the final. The club changed its name to Juventus Next Gen in 2022. Juventus Next Gen remained the sole Italian reserve team until August 2023 when Atalanta founded its own.[3]
Due to the nature of the club as a reserve team, Juventus Next Gen needs to comply to certain regulations, such as being eligible for promotion to Serie A and competing in the Coppa Italia, the major national cup. The club, and in general FIGC's reserve-team project, has faced a lot of criticism, especially from fans of other Serie C teams due to their perceived lack of history.
