09 September 2025
9 September 2025 was truly a day to remember.
At the Juventus Museum, a new page was written with the official inauguration of the Juventus Hall of Fame.
A major event, attended by Gianluca Ferrero, President of Juventus, and Paolo Garimberti, President of Juventus Museum, marked the beginning of a unique and exciting project.
For the first time, Juventus is dedicating a permanent and official space to those who, over the years, have made the black and white jersey legendary. The Hall of Fame is a tribute to those who, with the men's and women's first teams, have made history, and at the same time a bridge to the future: a place to relive emotions and pass on values.
A MESSAGE FROM JOHN ELKANN
"The Juventus Hall of Fame, inaugurated today in our museum, is an extraordinary tribute to the greatness of our club, its legendary figures, and a history that has united generations of Juventus fans around the world.
"It is a tribute to the purest passion for football, because every child with a ball at their feet dreams of replicating the moves and achievements of their favourite player, and every fan has their own champion close to their heart. We cheer for a jersey and dream thanks to those who wear and honour it.
"I would like to thank the players who are part of our Hall of Fame for the moments they have given us, which we now relive through this magnificent project that finds its natural home in the Juventus Museum, an iconic place embodying our identity and passion and uniting all the Juventus supporters."
THE WORDS OF GIANLUCA FERRERO
"Juventus means youth, and that is what represents us—in spirit, in boldness, and in the pursuit of challenge. But Juventus also has a great history, one that lives every day at the Juventus Museum. Ours is the story of the people who made the Club great, and from this evening we celebrate them with the Hall of Fame."
PAOLO GARIMBERTI
"The Juventus Museum has always been the home of our fans, of our present, and of our future. This is because innovation is in the DNA of the Museum, with new ideas and new initiatives. For us, the Hall of Fame is the right way to celebrate Juventus’ champions, because it goes beyond the numerical criteria that until now had inspired the section dedicated to the ‘centenary shirts,’ and is instead based on a meritocratic principle, worthy of those who have written our history."
A permanent room at the Museum, a virtual space on the internet
At the heart of the initiative is a new permanent room inside the Juventus Museum, a space designed to preserve and celebrate the achievements of those who have written memorable pages in the history of Juventus.
At the same time, the Hall of Fame will also be a special section of Juventus.com, where you can find the champions who are featured.
The criteria for admission
First of all, there is the basic requirement, which is that the player must no longer be active. In addition, at least one of the following requirements must be met. The player must have:
- At least 350 appearances for Juventus
- Won 15 or more trophies
- Been a historic captain, with at least 70 appearances wearing the armband
- Scored at least 100 goals for Juventus
- Won the Ballon d'Or while playing for Juventus
The first fifty names
The inauguration saw the entry of the first fifty legendary players: Pietro Anastasi, Roberto Baggio, Andrea Barzagli, Roberto Bettega, Carlo Bigatto, Giampiero Boniperti, Leonardo Bonucci, Felice Borel II, Sergio Brio, Gianluigi Buffon, Antonio Cabrini, Fabio Cannavaro, Ernesto Castano, Franco Causio, John Charles, Giorgio Chiellini, Gianpiero Combi, Antonio Conte, Antonello Cuccureddu, Alessandro Del Piero, Teobaldo Depetrini, Ciro Ferrara, Giuseppe Furino, Guglielmo Gabetto, Sara Gama, Claudio Gentile, John Hansen, Gianfranco Leoncini, Claudio Marchisio, Francesco Morini, Federico Munerati, Pavel Nedved, Carlo Parola, Gianluca Pessotto, Michel Platini, Pietro Rava, Virginio Rosetta, Paolo Rossi, Sandro Salvadore, Gaetano Scirea, Omar Sivori, Alessio Tacchinardi, Stefano Tacconi, Marco Tardelli, David Trezeguet, Giovanni Varglien, Mario Varglien, Gianluca Vialli, Zinedine Zidane, Dino Zoff.
A living project
The Hall of Fame, of course, does not stop there. It will be a constantly evolving project. In the near future, it will be the fans themselves who choose new inductees, proposed from time to time by the Club, becoming an active part of this collective celebration.
And that's not all: the initiative will also be open to coaches.
With the Hall of Fame, we don't want to just look to the past, we want to further strengthen our bond with the Bianconeri fans and with those who have made our shirt great.
