About Juventus
The Ball IQ Juventus quiz runs from the black-and-white beginnings in Turin right through to the 2025/26 season, and it is built around the thing that makes the Old Lady the Old Lady: winning, relentlessly, and being loved and resented in equal measure for it. This is the club of 36 Serie A titles — more than anyone in Italy — a record 15 Coppa Italia trophies, and the first club ever to complete the full set of major UEFA competitions. It is also the club that got dragged to Serie B in 2006 and clawed its way back to build a dynasty. If you know your Scudetti from your Supercoppe, this is your test.
Expect the moments Bianconeri fans can recite in their sleep. Alessandro Del Piero, 705 appearances and 290 goals, the club's all-time leader on both counts, and Gigi Buffon guarding the goal for the best part of two decades. The two European Cups — 1985 against Liverpool at Heysel, then the 1996 shoot-out win over Ajax in Rome — and the finals that got away in 2003, 2015 and 2017. And the defining modern feat: nine Serie A titles in a row from 2011/12 to 2019/20, the longest streak the league has ever seen, delivered under Conte, Allegri and Sarri.
You will be quizzed on transfers and cult heroes, on managers and record-breakers, graded from gentle to genuinely hard. Easy questions cover the obvious icons and the stadium; the middle tier digs into Trezeguet, Nedved, Pirlo's free transfer, the four straight Coppa Italia wins from 2015 to 2018, and the Calciopoli fallout. The hard end is where it bites — squad numbers, exact final scorelines, the coaches of the nine-in-a-row years, and where the club sits today after a turbulent 2025/26 that ended sixth under Luciano Spalletti, who took over from Igor Tudor in October.
Every question comes with a short, explained answer, so you are not just told you were wrong — you find out why, and pick up the story behind it.
