Reecey's Away Fan Guide - Juventus: Allianz Stadium, Turin

Reecey's Away Fan Guide - Juventus: Allianz Stadium, Turin

There is something refreshingly honest about a Juventus away day. It does not have the frenzied, almost theatrical chaos of Napoli. It lacks the grand, historic swagger of the San Siro. Instead, it offers something rarer in modern football: a purpose-built, beautifully designed stadium where the focus is squarely on the football, the noise, and the experience without unnecessary drama.

Turin itself feels like the perfect match for Juventus. Industrial yet stylish, proud without being flashy, and quietly confident in its own skin. The Allianz Stadium (still often called Juventus Stadium by locals) sits in the Vallette district like a gleaming black-and-white spaceship that somehow belongs exactly where it is. For away fans, it delivers one of the most comfortable, atmospheric, and well-run experiences you will find anywhere in Serie A.

Here is everything you need to know if you are heading to Turin as a travelling supporter.

The Stadium: Compact, Steep, and Acoustically Perfect

Opened in 2011 on the site of the old Stadio delle Alpi, the Allianz Stadium was designed from the ground up with one clear philosophy: get fans as close to the pitch as possible and make every seat count. With a capacity of around 41,500, it is one of the smaller big stadiums in Europe, but that is exactly its strength.

The stands are steep. Really steep. Sightlines are excellent from almost everywhere, and the roof design traps sound in a way that makes even a modest away following feel loud and intimidating. It genuinely feels more like a Premier League ground than a traditional Italian one, clinical in the best possible way.

Away fans are allocated seats in the designated secure sections, typically the upper tier in the south-east corner area. You will be behind protective plexiglass and netting, which is standard for Italian stadiums these days. It is secure without feeling like a cage, and the views remain superb. The facilities inside the away section are basic, with small kiosks and toilets, so do not expect luxury, but you are not there for that anyway.

Pro tip: Bring your voice. The acoustics here are genuinely special. Chants carry and echo in a way that can genuinely lift the away end.

Getting to the Allianz Stadium

Turin metro does not reach the stadium, so public transport is your best friend on matchday.

The most popular options are tram line 9, often with enhanced matchday services, or bus 72 or 72b from Porta Susa or Porta Nuova stations. Journey time is usually 25 to 40 minutes, depending on how busy it is. On matchdays the trams and buses get packed, and you will often see a visible police presence escorting fans near the ground. It is all very organised and low-stress compared to some other cities.

Taxis and Uber are reliable and reasonably priced, but allow plenty of extra time. Traffic around Corso Grosseto and the approaches to the stadium can build up significantly. Walking is only realistic if you are staying unusually close. The surrounding area is functional and suburban rather than picturesque.

Pre-Match: Turin's Civilised Build-Up

One of the joys of a Juventus away day is that Turin does not force you into a frantic, stressful pre-match routine.

City Centre (Via Roma or Piazza San Carlo area)

This is the elegant, classic choice. Historic piazzas, beautiful architecture, and sophisticated bars where you can sit outside with an Aperol Spritz or a cold beer and watch the world go by. Perfect if you want a relaxed, civilised start to the day.

San Salvario District

My personal favourite for away fans. This vibrant, slightly bohemian neighbourhood comes alive in the afternoon and early evening. You will find craft beer bars, lively trattorias, and a younger, more energetic crowd. It has a proper football atmosphere without being intimidating. Many travelling supporters gravitate here before heading north to the stadium.

Near the Stadium

There are a few kiosks and cafes, but they are mostly populated by home fans. You are better off drinking in town and making your way to the ground 60 to 90 minutes before kick-off.

Food and Drink Inside the Ground

Italian stadium food punches well above its weight. Expect good-quality panini stuffed with cured meats and cheese, decent pizza slices, espresso, and soft drinks. Beer is generally only available outside the stadium itself due to UEFA regulations on most European nights.

Prices are fair by European standards, and the quality is noticeably better than the average pie-and-pint experience at many British grounds. If you have time before the game, grab something proper in San Salvario or the centre. Piedmontese food is excellent.

Tickets: The Honest Truth

Juventus matches, especially big Serie A games and European nights, sell out fast. Away allocations usually sit between 1,500 and 2,100 seats.

The reality is simple: away tickets are almost always distributed through your own club's official travel club or supporters group. Trying to buy independently is extremely difficult because of strict ID and membership checks. Plan ahead and go through official channels.

Where to Stay in Turin

Turin is compact and well connected, so location is more about vibe than distance.

Centro or Porta Nuova: Best overall choice. Great transport links, excellent restaurants and bars, and that classic Turin atmosphere. Lively but not rowdy.

Lingotto: Often better value, still well connected, and a bit quieter. Good if you want to sleep properly.

Right by the stadium: Limited options and not much atmosphere. Only do this if you prioritise convenience above everything else.

Safety and Fan Culture

Juventus supporters are passionate and proud, but the overall atmosphere around the Allianz Stadium feels controlled and professional. Turin police are well organised and visible without being heavy-handed.

A few practical notes:

You will go through proper bag checks and segregation. This is standard procedure.

Away fans are usually held for 15 to 20 minutes after the final whistle before being escorted to transport. It is routine, not a punishment.

Mutual respect goes a long way. Juventus fans generally respond well to away supporters who are not looking for trouble.

Compared to some other Italian away days, this one feels calm, safe, and focused on the football.

Matchday Atmosphere: Precision and Power

This is where the Allianz Stadium really shines.

The pre-match build-up is impressive, with the anthem, the lights, and the sense of anticipation. Once the teams emerge, the ultras in the Curva Sud take over with remarkable discipline and volume. The scarf wave before kick-off is a proper spectacle.

What makes it special is the precision. Everything feels tight and professional. The sound does not dissipate into the night sky. It stays inside the bowl and builds. Even when the away end is relatively small, you can still make yourselves heard. It is intense without being chaotic, passionate without being aggressive.

It is not the wildest or most emotional away day in Italy, but it might be one of the most enjoyable and well-executed.

After the Final Whistle

Trams and buses get busy but remain safe and well stewarded. Most away fans head back toward Porta Susa or Porta Nuova for post-match drinks. Turin bars stay open late, and the city has a relaxed, grown-up feel in the evening, perfect for dissecting the game over a final beer or glass of Barolo.

How Does It Compare?

Juventus offers controlled and loud atmosphere with very high safety, good ease of travel, excellent food, and low hostility.

Milan delivers grand and historic atmosphere with high safety, excellent ease of travel, excellent food, and low to medium hostility.

Naples brings wild and electric atmosphere with moderate safety, tricky logistics, excellent food, and high hostility.

Rome provides chaotic and passionate atmosphere with moderate safety, good ease of travel, good food, and medium hostility.

Juventus away sits in a sweet spot: modern facilities, excellent organisation, strong atmosphere, and genuinely low hassle.

Final Verdict

Juventus away at the Allianz Stadium is a polished, professional, and thoroughly enjoyable experience. The stadium itself is one of the best-designed in Europe for atmosphere, Turin is a stylish and welcoming city, and the whole day runs with impressive efficiency.

It may not be the most emotionally charged or intimidating away day you will ever have in Italy, but that is part of its charm. If you value a high-quality football experience, excellent acoustics, great organisation, and a city that feels authentic rather than touristy, then a trip to Turin should be high on your list.

It is the kind of away day that reminds you why you travel in the first place, not just to watch football, but to experience how different clubs and cities do it.
