Valentine's Day Campaign 2023 \u2013 THIS VALENTINE'S DAY, WE CELEBRATE LOVE WITHOUT DISTINCTIONS!<\/div>\n
There are Manuel and Thessa, Linda and Lisa, Cecilia and Marco. There are their stories, which are first and foremost stories of a great love: their own, but also the love that binds all the protagonists to the black and white colors. Because if our lives are the two colors, this year our Valentine's Day is more colorful than ever: it's a hymn to love without distinction, to a world where everyone is free to love, universally and unconditionally. It's "Celebrate Love With Pride"!<\/div>\n

Today, but not only today, we want to remind everyone, as we already did last June, that for us, the black and whites, it is also important to be #MoreColorfulTogether<\/a>. We're doing it with "Stories of a Great Love": a campaign and a video in which three couples you're sure to know tell us about their experiences as a couple and as Juventus fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Football alone would be nothing. Football is immersed in life. It is life (\u2026) because human and civil rights are not politics: they are rights. And because football cannot be the victim of that process now universally defined, in English terminology, as "sport washing." Sport cannot be that; football and sport cannot be "washing machines" into which dirty laundry is swept to be cleaned. Dust under the carpet. Because Qatar will try to show its more modern, more futuristic, and richer side precisely thanks to the World Cup. And it will try to hide, as one would sweep dust under the carpet, the rights violations to which its population is subjected, from women to imprisoned opponents.<\/div>\n
