Against all odds.

Or perhaps not.

“Against All Odds” is the new, original production from Juventus Creator Lab, and it tells the story of a young, talented Bianconeri player, Marco Cosimo DaGraca.

Born in 2002 in Palermo, DaGraca came to Turin in 2018, taking his first steps in the professional game, both for the first team, and more consistently, for Juventus Next Gen, where he still plays today.

So far, this all seems normal, or almost. But the fact is that Marco’s story is far from normal. Instead, it’s one of growth, resurgence and rebirth, from a difficult childhood growing up in the testing ground of tough neighbourhoods in his native Sicily.

Marco Da Graca

Marco’s story is told to us in his own words and those of the people who care most for him. Above all, this is a story of love and affection, both from his family, who even though, or perhaps because, they have supported him through thick and thin still get goosepimples every time he plays, and from his partner too, who left everything behind to follow Marco on his adventure.

Ultimately, as he himself states, DaGraca’s story is an example of how football can be about perseverance and happiness, but also about resurgence and hope, where the future is never set in stone.

Only those who have passion, drive and refuse to give up can make it, against all odds.
