Juventus has long been at the forefront of the fight against discrimination.
This year the efforts have been increased internally at J-College where an awareness-raising journey against racism and discrimination entitled “Oltre la razza… creare ponti” has begun. It is held in collaboration with the psychological department and based on the content from podcasts and “Un calcio al razzismo”, with the next episode of the podcast to be released on 26 March, entitled: “La parole con la enne”.
Tomorrow, 21st March 2021, the International Day against Racial Discrimination will be celebrated, and starting from today as part of the “DifferencesMakeTheDifference” campaign, an unprecedented initiative will take place, which will involve, in order: the Women’s First Team, and the Men’s First Team.
The Juventus players will wear on their backs customised versions of the shirt numbers (in accordance to Lega Serie A regulations) that will feature, from 0 to 9, a statistic linked to racism. It will first be featured today for Juventus Women’s game away at Fiorentina, kicking off at 14:30 CET and tomorrow, by the Juventus First Team, who will face Benevento at 15:00 CET on the same day at the Allianz Stadium.
