The Turin club were relegated from Serie A to the second division (Serie B) and given a 17-point penalty for the start of next season by the Italian football federation (FIGC) for their part in rigging matches in the 2004-05 season.

Juventus were also stripped of the league titles they won last season (2005/06) and the season before and barred from the Champions League.

CONI, the governing body of Italian sport, oversees the activities of all the various federations, including the FIGC.

The Serie A and Serie B campaigns will start on the weekend of September 9 and 10.
