The Clube Atlético Juventus (Latin for Youth), usually known simply as Juventus, is a traditional Brazilian football club based in Mooca, a São Paulo neighborhood. Although it was a Campeonato Brasileiro A-2 (Taça de Prata) winner once, Juventus nowadays competes only in São Paulo tournaments, like Campeonato Paulista.

The team typically plays in carmine shirts and white shorts, and is nicknamed Moleque Travesso (the Pranky Boy).

[edit] History

Clube Atlético Juventus was founded on April 20, 1924 by Cotonificio Rodolfo Crespi employees, as Extra São Paulo. The team colors were the colors of São Paulo state, black, white and red.

In 1925, the club changed its name to Cotonifício Rodolfo Crespi Futebol Clube, and in 1930, the club changed its name again, to Clube Atlético Juventus.

[edit] Trivia

  • The club is named after Juventus of Italy, but the team colors were originally a homage to Fiorentina, although the current team colors are more similar to Torino ones.
  • Pelé states his most beautiful goal was scored at Rua Javari on a Campeonato Paulista match against Juventus in 02 August 1959. As there was no video footage of this match, Pelé asked that a computer animation be made of this specific goal. This animation can be seen on Pelé Eterno, a documentary about his career [1].
