The Stadio di Corso Marsiglia (also Campo Juventus ) was a multifunctional stadium in the Italian city ​​of Turin in Piedmont .

The arena was named after the street on which it was located, Corso Marsiglia (now Via Tirreno ). It was located between Corso Marsiglia , Via Tripoli , Via Monfalcone and Via Ricaldone (possibly Via Gradisca ) in the immediate vicinity of the Fiat headquarters at the time .

In its day, the stadium was one of the most modern in Italy and served as home to Juventus Turin between 1922 and 1933 .

history

The Stadio di Corso Marsiglia was planned as a replacement for the old Juventus home Stadio di Corso Sebastopoli and was built during the presidency of Gino Olivetti . It covered an area of ​​around 40,000 m², with a maximum of around 25,000 spectators. The arena was the first Italian sports facility to be built entirely using reinforced concrete . In addition to the club's office and the main stadium, the complex also included a 94 × 55 m training field and three tennis fields that were used by the Juve tennis department for national and international competitions.

Construction began in 1921 and was financed by the Società Spettacoli Sportivi (SSS), which consisted of the shareholders of Juventus Turin, with around one million lire . The Società Spettacoli Sportivi di Corso Marsiglia took care of the operation of the venue . The opening took place on October 19, 1922 with the championship game between Juventus and FC Modena , which ended 4-0 after goals from Pio Ferraris and Francesco Blando . In 1925, the Stadio di Corso Marsiglia hosted an international match between Italy and France , which Azzurri won 7-0.

In the 1930s, under the presidency of Edoardo Agnelli, a floodlight system was installed - a novelty in Italy at the time.

Juventus used the stadium until 1933. This was followed by the move to the newly built, larger Stadio Municipale “Benito Mussolini” . On Corso Marsiglia , Juventus won four Scudetti  - 1925/26 as well as the first three championships of the Quinquennio d'Oro ( 1930/31 , 1931/32 and 1932/33 ). After Juve emigrated , the Stadio di Corso Marsiglia was the home of the local rugby union teams GUF Torino and Rugby Torino. It was demolished in 1939. The area was later the social housing dedicated .
