On this day in 1900, Juventus made their competitive debut in Italian football in a 1-0 loss against Torinese.
Playing in their original pink and black kit, Juve were one among three Piedmont based teams vying for the Italian Football Championship against clubs from Lombardy and Genoa. Despite being formed in 1897, Juve were not admitted into the Italian league until 1900.
The Old Lady beat Ginnastica twice, both with a score line of 2-0, before losing to Torinese again. Juve’s debut season saw them play just four matches.
Their first championship success came in 1905 in their iconic black and white kit.
