To join the Juventus Fan Club Di San Paolo (BR) it costs R$150 per year
Juventus of Turin, which this week surprised the football world by announcing the signing of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo (five times considered the Best Player in the World), knows that it can become popular all over the world and has expanded its plan to win over new fans. Brazil was one of its targets, where it approved the Juventus Fan Club Di San Paolo (BR), launched during the World Cup after the Brazil vs. Costa Rica game. The launch location could not have been more emblematic: the Circolo Italiano, an entity headquartered in the Edifício Itália in downtown São Paulo, one of the symbols of Brazilian vertical architecture.
The Juventus Fan Club Di San Paolo (BR) creates art for 503 other official fan clubs that represent the Italian club in 48 countries. The initiative of Italian immigrants in São Paulo to form a youth nucleus is the only one with an official character in Brazil. It was formed in 2015 through the efforts of Giovanni Manassero, president of the fan club and current vice-president of Circolo in São Paulo. It took two years of negotiations with the Italian club until approval occurred in 2017. First of all, the Juventus Fan Club Di San Paolo (BR) attracted more supporters and also launched its official website www.jcsaopaulo.com
President of the Velha Senhora fan club – the nickname given to Juventus due to its age (1897) –, Giovanni Massanero, stated that the intention is to integrate a lot of people. “We want fans who like Juventus to support us. It doesn't matter what your favorite club is here in Brazil. What matters is the sympathy for Juventus,” he said.

Activations of actions involving fans will begin soon, according to the fan club's board of directors. “Our intention is to promote trips from here to Italy, providing the Juventus Experience, where meetings with former players take place for conversations, dinners with the presence of the main names of the team and the games, the main dish”, said Marco Di Biasi, a of directors.
Registration for anyone who wants to join the Juventus Fan Club Di San Paolo (BR) costs R$150 per year and can be done directly through the website. The 2018/2019 season of the Italian Championship begins on August 19th with something new: the ball will not stop rolling over the Christmas period. Just like the Premier League in England, the Italian already has games scheduled for the 22nd, 26th and 29th of December.
