The Stadio delle Alpi was completed in 1990 to host matches for the 1990 World Cup. Juventus later relocated to a more modern venue on the same site. The Allianz Stadium, completed in 2011, broke new ground by setting the first post-modern structure and becoming the first football stadium to be built without architectural barriers in Italy. The stadium was built at a cost of €155 million and was contributed by an advanced payment from Sportfive for €35 million, a loan of €50 million (later increased to €60 million) from Istituto per il Credito Sportivo, and land sales to Nordiconad for €20.25 million.
The first competitive match played at the Juventus Stadium was against Parma, with Stephan Lichtsteiner scoring the first goal. The stadium, now known as the Allianz Stadium due to a sponsorship agreement, has since hosted the UEFA Europa League final, the UEFA Nations League Finals, and the UEFA Women's Champions League final. Around the stadium, visitors can find structures related to the club such as the J-Museum, J-Medical, and a concept store, as well as a shopping center.
