Juventus are planning to build a secondary stadium to host its women's and youth team matches in close vicinity to the Allianz Stadium, according to the club, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

The venue would have a capacity of between 3,500 and 5,000 and has been earmarked for construction in the same Continassa district of Turin as the Allianz Stadium, potentially in a disused adjacent building.

The idea of a second stadium had been discussed last year, according to Italian publication Tuttosport, with Juventus president Andrea Agnelli previously denying that these discussion took place.

Agnelli said: "Investments in the real estate sector are planned to finally give a home to the women and the Under-23s, in order to allow them to play in Turin and not in Novara or in Alessandria."

Currently, Juventus women's team play their domestic fixtures in Vivovo at a 400 capacity facility roughly 14 kilometres from Turin.

However, they play their European fixtures in Novara, which is 96 kilometres away from Turin.

Similarly, Juventus under-23s plays their fixtures in Alessandria which is also more than 90 kilometres away from Turin.

The move to develop a central hub for all of Juventus' affiliate teams has the potential to boost interest and attendance figures for both the women's and under-23's fixtures.
