JOFC Day 2026: Sicily hosts the new edition

JOFC Day 2026 begins with an extraordinary welcome: a collective embrace bringing together representatives of Juventus Official Fan Clubs from around the world, ready to meet again, reconnect and share the same unmistakable Bianconeri passion. In the stunning setting of Giardini Naxos, Sicily, John Elkann and Michel Platini greeted Fan Club Presidents, engaging them in a conversation that moved through memories and looked ahead to the future, weaving together history, belonging and pride. President Gianluca Ferrero then delivered his greetings, highlighting the deep bond that unites the entire Bianconeri family.

Responsibility and pride: these are the values that shape Juventus’ identity, protected and shared every day around the world, also thanks to the energy and dedication of our Clubs.

John Elkann said: “Juventus is unique thanks to its fans, whom I want to thank, and to our players who have always taken the field with the desire to win for the great Bianconeri family and with pride for our shirt.

We want to build a strong Juventus: we have players who represent the future. After difficult years, it is important to build again on solid foundations. Our strength has always been the unity between ownership, the Club, the team and our supporters.”

Michel Platini shared with those present the great victories and the pride of having been a Juventus player: “I feel great pride in having worn the black and white shirt and in having played alongside friends and great champions. We won less than we should have, but I learned to love Italian supporters and their passion.

With the Avvocato, I always had a relationship marked by fairness and respect. The Agnelli family has long been the backbone of Juventus, and the “Juve style” immediately brings his vision to mind”.

Finally, President Gianluca Ferrero thanked those present for their great passion: “I would like to thank John Elkann: by being here, he has given a tangible sign of the closeness that his family has always shown to our great family, Juventus. A special thank-you also goes to the Presidents of the Official Fan Clubs for being here today and for the tireless work through which you strengthen, day after day, the bond between the Club and its supporters: it is thanks to you that this team effort continues. Juventus is a great family: the same colours, the same values, the same passion.”
