Juventus CEO Claude Blanc compares Malta to Juventus

At a well-attended press conference held at the Vinova Juventus Sports Centre in Torino, the forthcoming Juventus visit to Malta was officially announced to the public.

La Vecchia Signora, as the legendary and world-renowned Italian Football Club is known, will be in Malta for a training camp between the 6 and 12 January, 2008 and will also play Valletta on 9 January 2008. Coverage for this event has been widespread across Italy, in the media and in papers such as; Corriere dello Sport, E Polis Milano, Tuttosport and Gazzetta dello Sport. In his address, Juventus CEO Jean Claude Blanc was very upbeat about the Malta training camp and was most complimentary towards Malta, favourably comparing our Islands to his team:

Blanc stated that Malta is not only a high-class tourism destination but is also a country with top class training facilities, worthy of prestigious clubs like Juventus.

Malta boasts one of the biggest fan clubs in Europe, with an estimated 20,000 supporters for this well loved team. This much anticipated event, organised by Renaissance Productions, is being supported by the Malta Tourism Authority. The MTA is in a continuous bid to market our islands in core markets such as Italy, also through campaigns promoting Malta as a hub of activities, events and initiatives, employing the concept of: “Malta … It’s All happening here!”

Tickets for Valletta-Juventus friendly on sale as from today

Tickets for the prestigious Valletta-Juventus friendly scheduled for 9 January 2008 will go on sale as from today from two outlets. Another will be available as from next Monday.

The Juventus Club and Valletta FC will have tickets available as from today, while all the nine GoMobile outlets on these islands will have them available from Monday.

Addressing a news conference at the Le Meridien Hotel in St Julian’s yesterday, Dr Anton Tabone, on behalf of the organisers, Renaissance Productions Ltd., announced the price of these tickets.

They will be sold at Lm15 for the North and South stands, Lm25 at the Millennium Stand, Lm35 in the Enclosure and Lm45 in the VIP stand. However, GoMobile outlets will have a limited number of discounted tickets, available at the price of Lm10, while those buying their ticket from the two clubs will have the price deducted by Lm3, that is, tickets will cost Lm12.

Juventus will be arriving in Malta with their full squad (including any injured players) on 6 January. Their programme includes visits by some players to the two Juventus Supporters Clubs in Malta and Gozo as well as the friendly match against Valletta. A special gala evening is scheduled to be held on 7 January with all the players in attendance. It is being held at the SkyClub in Paceville but attendance is limited to between 2,000 and 3,000 persons. On the day before the Valletta match, their training session at the Ta’ Qali National Stadium will be open to the public. The programme will then include full training sessions, some of which may also be held in one of our bays, the others probably at the Ta’ Qali training grounds.

The Juventus contingent, which will also include president Cobolli Gigli and other top officials, as well as trainers, chefs and the medical staff, will be leaving Malta one day before their match in Catania. That will be either Friday or Saturday (11 or 12 January), depending on the day of the match. They will be flying to Catania via AirMalta and from there, they will go back to Turin immediately after their Serie A match.

The Turin club’s training camp in Malta follows in the aftermath of last year’s visit by Milan, during which the Rossoneri also played against local club Birkirkara. This year’s Juventus visit has attracted interest from the major newspapers and news agencies in Italy, among them ANSA, Tuttosport, La Stampa, il Giornale, La Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport.

The event is being sponsored by Go and Betfair as main sponsors with the Hotel Le Meridien, AirMalta, Malta Tourism Authority, Jaguar, Arkadia and Coca-Cola also giving their valuable support to the organisers.

Dr Tabone said the company had to pay a considerable sum to Juventus to bring them over to Malta and play a match here apart from the training camp. “In this respect we also praise Birkirkara FC for their initiative in bringing over Milan last January. That helped to project Malta as a favourite place for such training camps by leading clubs such as Juventus. We made a very considerable investment. We are aware that there were other bids which might have attracted Juventus, but we managed to convince the Bianconeri to come to Malta, even perhaps because of the strong presence of fans (an estimated 20,000) on these two islands.”

Dr Michael Sciriha, Juventus Club Vero Amore president in Malta, said this was a dream come true. “We have nurtured such a dream for years. Seeing our favourites among us is something we will never forget,” he said, adding that those interested in buying tickets for the occasion are to get them from Fenech Building in St Venera, as from today. They hope to fill one of the stands behind the goalposts for the match against Valletta.

It was also revealed yesterday by Dr Tabone, that one or two Juventus players will also be crossing over to Gozo to meet the fans at the club on the sister island.

Victor Sciriha, Valletta FC president, said it was an honour for his club to be playing against such a famous side. “It is an honour for Valletta FC. On our part, we assure everyone there will be a spectacle. The atmosphere which our numerous fans create on such occasions will remain memorable to all those attending the Ta’ Qali Stadium on 9 January,” he said.

    Full Juventus team to show up in Paceville


    Keen Juventus supporters are in for a unique treat next month as they will have the opportunity to see the whole team at a Sky Club event in Paceville being organised by Renaissance Productions Ltd and sponsored by Go.

    All the team members, accompanied by the management, will be present at the star-studded variety show taking place on January 7 at 8.30 pm.

    The organisers said it is very seldom that Juventus accept to be present with all their players at the same social function. However, given the great anticipation of the team's visit to Malta, the Juventus management did not wish to disappoint its Maltese fan base and have accepted RPL's invitation to participate with the full squad.

    What an honest man to do this job:evil:

    Suspected trafficker’s security firm to provide security for Juventus


    The man who was arrested in Spain after being allegedly caught carrying a kilo of cocaine is the owner of the security firm which was entrusted to provide security for Juventus, when the top Italian serie-A team will visit Malta later on in January to play Valletta FC.

    The man, from Valletta himself, is Tonio Zampa, well known for being a staunch PN supporter close to a PN minister and another PN Member of Parliament.

    His security firm is Eurosecurity who had also provided the security during the summer concert Isle of MTV. During the Isle of MTV Tonio Zampa had also been caught up in a skirmish with a Civil Protection director slightly injuring him.

    Now, maltastar.com is exclusively informed that Zampa’s security firm had just won the tender to provide security for Juventus when in a few days time they will be playing Valletta as part of their winter warm-up game before Serie A restarts. Juventus will be fielding its full-team, thus, when the Italian team will be in Malta, security will be an important component in the organisation of what is considered as one of the main events in January.

    The Valletta vs Juventus football match is being organised by Valletta FC. A relative of Tonio Zampa, Sergio Zampa, is a member of Valletta FC’s executive committee.

    The security was entrusted to Eurosecurity after a call for tenders. It is not yet known whether the company will be kept to manage the security of the important match.

    Zampa is still arrested in Spain awaiting legal proceedings after being caught with 1 kilo of cocaine in Girona’s international airport. He was boarding a Ryanair flight to Malta. Drug trafficking in Spain carries a minimum jail term of three years. Mr Zampa has requested legal assistance from Malta and is not known whether the lawyer contacted has accepted to defend the man in held in Spain.

    maltastar.com earlier last week revealed how the man had travelled on the same flight on several occasions. Yet, Mr Zampa was never known to be involved in other drug cases, despite his name being known to the police on other criminal offences.

    What a so reliable site:spliff:

    Suspected trafficker's firm not involved in Juventus security


    Executive Protection Services will be providing security for the Juventus team who will be visiting Malta to play Valletta FC in the coming days and not Eurosecurity, the security firm whose owner is being accused of drug trafficking in Spain.

    Joe Fenech, head of security of the Juventus Club Vero Amore and director of Executive Protection Services categorically denied that the person mentioned in the article published by maltastar.com entitled ‘Suspected trafficker’s security firm to provide security for Juventus’ had anything to do with the security of the Juventus’ team visit.

    The Valletta FC vs Juventus match is being organised by the private firm Renaissance Productions who have directly appointed Joe Fenech’s company to provide security for Juventus in Malta. There was no call for tenders for the security and Renaissance simply chose the professional services of Executive Protection Services to carry out the job.

    Renaissance Director Dr Anton Tabone confirmed that there is no issue with the security of the Juventus visit in Malta and that the organisation is moving according to plan.

    Juventus will be having a training camp in Malta before the match against Valletta FC which will be played on 8 January 2008.

    maltastar.com regrets any inconvenience caused to Renaissance Productions, Executive Protection Services and any other persons involved in the organisation of the event.

    Juventus Soccer School in Gozo

    Renaissance Productions Ltd has concluded negotiations with Juventus to secure the exclusive rights to represent the Juventus Soccer School (JSS) in the Maltese islands. The first Juventus Soccer School will be based at Don Bosco Oratory in Victoria, Gozo, directors Anton Tabone and Amabile Zammit announced.

    The Juventus Soccer School will be officially launched by Marco Marchi, International Soccer Schools Manager at a special ceremony to be held on 12th January 2008 at Don Bosco Oratory. A 2-hour training session under the guidance of a Juventus Soccer University-certified coach for children aged 8-16 years, will precede to the opening ceremony. Two Juventus team players are also expected to be present.

    Based on the success of Juventus’ club in Italian and international football (13 million fans in Italy, 43 million fans in Europe, 170 million fans worldwide), and together with the positive values that JSS attempt to instil in the kids that enrol, RPL directors are confident that the Juventus Soccer School experience in Malta and Gozo will be extremely successful and beneficial to all young footballers.

    The values of the JSS mission statement are to communicate and represent Juventus in every activity, in and off the pitch thereby creating a unique Juventus experience; to protect children safety through the creation of an internal policy of “Child Protection”; to select and coach the staff to respect and promote the high standards of Juventus Soccer School in teaching methods and general behaviour; to create the best environment in which learning takes place: less exasperation, more fun; and to develop the technical characteristics of the players.

    The Juventus Soccer School is organised in partnership with “Nike” – the world’s leading sports brand.

    Every project undertaken by the JSS follows a specific technical sports program based on the JSS model. The curriculum is developed by the Juventus University ‘Centro Studi’ so as to respond to the specific technical and social requirements of each project. Juventus own the first Soccer University in the world. Courses at the University are addressed to coaches with a coaching certificate and to those who have a degree in physical education.

    University courses are held at the Juventus Training Centre in Vinovo (Turin) but could also be held in the respective country where the Juventus Soccer School is based.

    Juventus have been successfully organising Juventus Summer Camps in a number of different countries whereby courses are organised over a two week period during vacation time – generally in June/July/August. Boys and girls aged 8-16 years attend these camps accompanied by their respective families who take the opportunity to take a vacation during the time the kids are attending the Juventus Soccer School.
