Juventus Football Club and Fortinet have signed a sponsorship agreement through which Fortinet becomes the new Official Cybersecurity Partner for the next two seasons, through 2026. Juventus has also chosen Fortinet’s industry-leading Security Fabric platform to reduce complexity and streamline the identification and resolution of network and security issues across the club’s facilities.

Home to Juventus football and its fans, Allianz Stadium has been a leader in sustainability and serves as one of the premier entertainment hubs and tourist attractions in Turin. Juventus will implement Fortinet solutions within the Continassa Area, including Juventus Headquarters, Allianz Stadium Data Center, J|hotel, J|medical, and First Team Training Center – JTC Continassa.

Fortinet’s Platform Approach Wins Over Juventus

Fortinet’s Security Fabric platform and unique ability to converge networking and security helps organizations like Juventus reduce complexity by consolidating siloed security tools, increase visibility, improve performance, and decrease the mean time to respond to incidents.

Fortinet’s industry-leading Secure Networking portfolio was critical to Juventus’ decision to select Fortinet as its Official Cybersecurity Partner. A core requirement for the project included the completion of an entire LAN Edge infrastructure swap prior to the season’s start, which included replacing more than 50 switches and 160 access points (APs) across 10 locations.

As part of the agreement, Juventus will implement a central FortiGate next-generation firewall (NGFW) cluster to control their switches and access points. By adding FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, Juventus now has a single pane of glass to help consolidate visibility and control for the full environment.
