Juventus F.C. Youth Sector (it. Settore Giovanile) is youth set-up of Juventus Football Club. The Youth Sector is made up of various squads divided by age groups. All the Youth Sector squads currently train at the club's main training ground, Juventus Center, located at the piedmontese village of Vinovo (14 km at southwest of Turin).
In August 2007 the Juventus Under-19 team were runner-up in the inaugural edition of the Champions Youth Cup in Malaysia, intended to be a Club World Championship powered by G-14 and hold the best defence of the tournament with only two goals conceded in six matches. More recently, the Primavera (Under-20) squad won back-to-back Viareggio titles, successfully defending their title in a 4-2 win over Empoli in February 2010.
Like the Ajax youth set-up, the club maintains several soccer schools, some satellite clubs and camps in Italy (addressed to 8- to 16-year-old boys who want to improve their own level of game), United States,Mexico and England (all addressed to 11- to 16-year-old boys) and football initiatives like Juventus University, the first Football University in the world (run jointly with the University of Turin) and Juventus National Academy, launched to creating a network of Juventus football schools (or academies) throughout Italy addressed to 8- to 12-year-old boys.
