Juventus Opens First Exhibition on Paralympic Team at Continassa
Juventus FC inaugurated its inaugural exhibition for the paralympic team, Juventus One, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities at the Continassa headquarters in Turin. The exhibit, named "Portraits of Identity, Inclusion & Youth," showcases the narratives of eleven athletes with disabilities and will be open until December 10, offering complimentary guided tours led by the athletes themselves. Since its establishment in 2017 in collaboration with Associazione Sportiva Nessuno Escluso, Juventus One has expanded from forty to 125 players with disabilities for the upcoming 2024/2025 season. The exhibition also highlights the Juventus One @School and Juventus One & Youth initiatives. Player Sebastiano Messina stated that the team conveys the idea that disability should not be seen as a limitation. Massimo Miegge remarked on the project's social roots and its ties to a prominent football club.
