Looks like Juve have some cash coming in.

Sportfive was named as chief marketing partner for Juventus and in particular of the new stadium. Over the course of the next 15 years the team will receive 75 million Euros.

I took a peak at the company and at first glance it looks like a stable partner. The company represents teams like Fiorentina and Atalanta in Italy so they aren't Serie A newcomers but more importantly represent many European Clubs and have their own TV Rights policy which up until recently in Italy, Milan's Mediaset empire had a monopoly on.

Here's their website:

Found in the English section of Juventus.com:

Juventus and Sportfive, here's the future of football
The agreement was announced one month ago and today in Milan Juventus and Sportfive Italy officially presented the commercial alliance that will tie the Club and the Company for fifteen years.
Across this period Sportfive will pay Juventus 75 million Euros, in exchange for exclusive naming rights on the new Stadium.

Sportfive, who already have several naming right projects, especially in Germany, for instance in Hamburg, Dortmund and Frankfurt, will pick Juventus' new Stadium's title sponsor name, to be applied from the 2011/12 season, when construction work will end. «This is an absolutely innovative partnership project – Juventus Jean–Claude Blanc M.D. declared – confirming our intention of promoting a new and completely groundbreaking concept of Stadium entertainment».

Apart from handling the naming rights, the agreement also posits that Juventus and Sportfive will cooperate in managing the VIP Hospitality area in the new Stadium, and that they will join forces to organize a yearly football event, using their specific experience: Juventus in top-level football, Sportifive in the marketing of the event. «This long-term agreement with one of the most renowned football brands such as Juventus - remarked Spotifive's Chief Executive Officer Richard Worth – is another significant step for us in terms of fully developing our Company at international level».



Hopefully they can generate better attendance.

75 million for 15 years....doesn't it seem just a bit too small? It's about 5 million every year for 15 years. well at least we we can pay Buffon's salary with it

    I agree but that's strictly stadium sponsorship for now.

    well 5 million euros a year is better than nothing at all .. plus you can add in the revenue from surrounding shops and things around the stadium ..

    but for some reason i think we could've gotten a better deal, i mean sportfive will sell stadium naming rights to some company for 15 years .. probably they'll get double or so the 75millions they're giving us .. right?

    I would be disappointed if there wasn't some performance related bonuses to be added on to that figure.

    Was there not also the suggestion that Sportfive would help fund the building of the stadium?

    Juve needed just over 100 Million from the Euro 2012 bid to build the stadium they wanted. With this 75 and some extra cash we can finally get the stadium initially dreamt of. Future's looking good guys, these guys are good businessmen but they lack in the player transfer department. Blanc seems to be taking a bigger role in transfers, seems Secco is being phased out.

    Unclear.

    Would be interesting to know if we have the right to veto a deal if we don't like who Sportfive sell the rights to.
