Juventus has continued its international activation strategy in China with a three-day event series in Chengdu, combining brand experience, fan engagement and grassroots football initiatives.

The programme builds on previous activities in Shanghai and reflects a structured approach to maintaining visibility in one of football’s most commercially important global markets.

Multi-Layered Activation in a Key Commercial District Juventus

The central component of the initiative was the “Juventus Park” pop-up, located at Chengdu IFS in the Chunxi Road district, one of the city’s main retail and cultural hubs.

The activation was designed as an interactive brand environment, where visitors could engage with Juventus through a series of themed zones developed in collaboration with global and regional partners.

These zones combined elements of football, lifestyle and culture, offering a mix of content, activities and brand storytelling designed to resonate with local audiences.

Partner Integration Across the Activation Experience

The event also served as a platform for partner activation, with brands including adidas, Jeep, EA Sports, Ganten and Daka integrated into the experience.

Each partner contributed to specific areas within the activation, allowing Juventus to combine commercial visibility with interactive engagement formats.

This multi-partner structure highlights how clubs are using physical activations to deliver value across sponsorship portfolios, rather than relying solely on digital or broadcast exposure.

Fan Engagement Through Interactive Formats

A key feature of the Juventus Park concept was the use of an interactive participation system, where visitors collected stamps by completing activities across the different zones.

This gamified approach encouraged movement through the space while increasing engagement time and interaction with both club and partner content.

The inclusion of symbolic elements such as the Juventus bench — introduced for the first time in an Asian activation — added a layer of storytelling, linking the club’s sporting identity with the event environment.

Grassroots Tournament as a Community Anchor

Alongside the brand activation, Juventus hosted the Ganten China Bianconeri Football Tournament at the Jinpeng Football Center.

The competition brought together teams representing Juventus Official Fan Clubs from across China, reinforcing the club’s connection with its organised supporter network.

The tournament also incorporated digital and youth-focused elements through collaboration with Bilibili, one of China’s leading content platforms, reflecting the importance of local media ecosystems in building engagement.
