Arsenal v Juventus: The Brief

You’ll have the opportunity to see our summer recruits in action for the first time on Sunday, when Juventus travel to Meadow Park.

THE OPPOSITION

Juventus Women may have only been founded in July 2017, but already they’ve cemented their place at the top of women’s football in Italy.

They won Serie A during their first full season as a club, after defeating Brescia 5-4 in a dramatic title-winning penalty shoot-out. The two sides finished the season tied on 60 points, and as a result, a play-off final was required to decide the winner.

The Old Lady are currently managed by Rita Guarino, and they boast a number of the national team’s finest talents.
