Plans for the new stadium for Juventus in Turin have been revealed, which in future will give Juventus the honour of being the first Italian football club to have its own stadium.
The ambitious project will allow for spectator numbers of 40,200, with 4,000 car spaces available.
Invitations to pitch for the project and build the new Italian stadium will start in January, with work commencing in April.
Plans are for the stadium to be finished by 2011.
The entire area will measure around 355,000 square metres, with 34,000 dedicated to commercial use and 30,000 for green space.
Eight restaurant areas will be included, with 24 bars, 500 press boxes and 84 sky boxes equipped with lounge, plasma television, and plenty of comfort for particularly enthusiastic Juventus fans.
Personalities from Italy’s football clubs and celebrities have been invited to the presentation, including Cobolli Gigli and Blanc from Juventus, Italian football names Abete, Matarrese, Pancalli and Galliani, and Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero.
Other famous Juventus members from previous times will be present, such as Boniperti and Ravanelli.
The current president of Italy’s AC Milan football club, Adriano Galliani, seemed very enthusiastic, describing the moment as important in the history of Italian soccer, and expressing his hope that one day AC Milan would also have its own stadium.
With the modern and safe stadium, Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has promised an unforgettable experience for Juventus fans and the Juventus club.
National Italian football coach Marcello Lippi has also said that this is only the start of a new beginning in Italian football.
The fame of this new stadium could even eclipse the renowned San Siro in Milan.
