So, Juventus Play is inviting you to a special birthday celebration. Today, 8 September, from 19:00 onwards, you'll be able to watch the opening ceremony in full, followed by the friendly match that inaugurated the pitch, against Notts County.

Notts County have signed defender Rosaire Longelo from Salford City on a three-year deal.
The 26-year-old arrives at Meadow Lane for an undisclosed fee after an 18-month spell with the Ammies.
Longelo started his career at West Ham before stints with Accrington Stanley and Swindon Town. He joined Salford in January 2025, making 63 appearances for the club.
"Rosaire is an attack-minded wide player with plenty of pace, trickery and dribbling ability," County's director of football, Richard Montague, told the club's website.
"He gives us real depth in the wing-back position and also brings prior League One experience from his time with Accrington. We've been keen to sign Rosaire for a while now so we're delighted to now have him on board."

Iorpenda was named fans' player of the season and players' player of the season at Meadow Lane.

Chelsea's Carabao Cup campaign begins at Stamford Bridge on Thursday against a Luton Town side still chasing a repeat of their sole major trophy, the 1988 League Cup.
History is firmly against the visitors: Luton have been eliminated in eight of their last nine EFL Cup ties against Premier League opposition, while Chelsea have advanced from 27 of their last 28 EFL Cup ties against sides from outside the top flight, a run stretching back to a penalty-shootout exit to Burnley in November 2008.
Luton head into the match unbeaten across three fixtures this season, coming from behind to beat Reading 4-3 on the opening weekend before a 2-2 draw with newly-promoted Notts County and a 3-0 win over Gillingham in the first round. Chelsea, by contrast, are still finding their feet under Xabi Alonso, whose competitive debut brought a 3-2 win at Fulham three days earlier. Thursday offers the new head coach an early look at squad depth before a testing run of fixtures ahead.
Date: Thursday, 27 August 2026Kick-off: 19:30 BSTVenue: Stamford BridgeReferee: Elliot BellLast meeting: Luton Town 2-3 Chelsea, Premier League, 30 December 2023
Jordan Henderson (wrist) and Emmanuel Emegha (hamstring) remain sidelined, and Wesley Fofana is suspended, serving the second of a two-match ban carried over from a red card against Sunderland last season. Moises Caicedo and Marco Palestra both missed the win at Fulham after picking up injuries in training and remain doubts, with Caicedo more likely to return for the weekend. Alonso is expected to make wholesale changes and could hand full debuts to several summer signings.

Nottinghamshire have signed New Zealand A international fast bowler Fraser Sheat as an overseas player for the final five County Championship games of the season.
The 28-year-old from Canterbury, who played twice for Glamorgan in 2024, is in line to mark his return to English county cricket on Thursday as Notts play Warwickshire, one of their two main Division One ******* le rivals, in a meeting of third against first at Edgbaston.
"Fraser will add to our seam resources at a key point in the season," said Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores, who are without England paceman Josh Tongue on Thursday.
"Six games in six weeks is a heavy workload in the last part of this season and to have depth in our seam bowling will be key to staying competitive in every game. This feels like a great opportunity for Fraser."
Sheat, who was a runner-up in New Zealand's T20 Super Smash last winter, has not played any competitive cricket since April, when he was called up by the touring New Zealand A squad to play Sri Lanka A in Hambantota in April, taking one wicket and making a useful 61 not out.

Grimsby Town have signed Notts County midfielder Ryley Reynolds on a season-long loan deal.
The 20-year-old spent last season on loan in National League North with Kidderminster Harriers and helped them win promotion to the fifth tier.
He could make his Mariners debut in Saturday's League Two season-opener against Exeter.
"He's an energetic, technically good midfielder who has the ability to play between the lines, create opportunities and get into goalscoring positions," boss Dave Artell told the club website.

Lancashire have appointed Richard Kenyon as their new chief executive after he decided to resign from the same role at Nottinghamshire.
He will replace the outgoing Daniel Gidney, who is set to retire at the end of the year following 14 years at Old Trafford.
Kenyon became CEO at Notts in October but is leaving the current county champions after less than a year to move closer to his family home at Southport.
He previously spent a decade at Everton FC, holding roles as chief commercial and communications officer, as well as chief executive of Everton in the community - the club's charitable organisation - and was involved in the club's move from Goodison Park to Bramley Moore Dock.
"This is a club with a proud history, passionate members and supporters, and tremendous ambition. To have the opportunity to play a leading role in the next chapter of its journey is a real privilege," Kenyon told Lancashire's website.

Notts Outlaws maintained a perfect start to their One-Day Cup campaign with a comfortable victory over Leicestershire as Lancashire posted a second win in Group A with a victory over Kent.
Haseeb Hameed's side were following up comfortable wins against Somerset and Warwickshire in their opening two matches and a third was never in doubt against the Foxes at Trent Bridge.
After restricting the visitors to 199, Notts were never out of second gear to win by five wickets with 54 ****** remaining.
Foxes captain Stephen Eskinazi posted an unbeaten 93 from the top of the order, but his innings proved the exception to the rule as only one of his team-mates, Hamza Sheikh (35), made it past 20.
Joe Pockington, with career-best figures of 4-40, did the majority of the damage for the Notts attack, but Lyndon James and Brett Hutton both took 2-40 and Dillon Pennington was tidy for his 1-25.

They have been separated for more than a decade by just 40 metres.
Now two clubs in south Wales believe they may finally have the most local rivalry in British football.
Nottingham Forest and Notts County, divided only by the River Trent, are the closest senior professional rivals in England.
Even less ****** e - only 0.17 miles (272m) - separates Dundee's Dens Park and Dundee United's Tannadice Park.
But when Cwmbran Celtic host Cwmbran Town on Tuesday evening for their first meeting in 16 years - in the third tier of Welsh football - it could be the shortest distance of the lot separating their home grounds.

Notts County have signed Harrogate Town midfielder Jack Evans for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with the Magpies.
He scored twice in 48 appearances for Harrogate last season, having joined from FC Halifax Town in the summer of 2025.
He was named Harrogate's Player of the Season by both the club's supporters and his team-mates.
"Despite Harrogate's struggles last season, Jack was one of the outstanding midfielders in the division," Notts County director of football Richard Montague told the club website.

Veteran opener Adam Lyth struck an undefeated 131 from 63 ****** – the highest score of this year's Vitality Blast – as Yorkshire closed in on a quarter-final place with a 41-run win over Leicestershire Foxes at Headingley.
Lyth's innings, the second T20 hundred of his career, keeps the Tykes on course to qualify from the North Group although they remain second behind Notts Outlaws, who squeezed past Durham by two runs for a sixth straight victory.
Northamptonshire Steelbacks' 100% record finally came to an end in comprehensive fashion as they fell to a 105-run defeat at home to holders Somerset, although they stay eight points clear at the top of the Central & West Group.
Second-placed Gloucestershire lost to Warwickshire Bears by 30 runs, while Worcestershire Rapids strengthened their quarter-final prospects, leapfrogging Glamorgan in the table after a 15-run win in a low-scoring affair at Cardiff.
Hampshire Hawks' England paceman Sonny Baker captured four wickets to maintain their momentum at the top of the South Group, holding off Kent Spitfires by 19 runs.

On the same weekend that Ben Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket, a former Premier League winner was staking his claim as an all-rounder.
Ten years after helping Leicester City complete a 5000-1 fairytale run to the **** le, Austrian Christian Fuchs had a cricket debut to remember.
The 40-year-old took two wickets, contributed to a run out and blew a kiss to a bowler after smashing him for six into a river.
But while Stokes was saying his England goodbyes at Trent Bridge, Fuchs was saying **** o at Bridge Field in Derbyshire, turning out for Grindleford in a Sunday friendly against Riverside Notts.
"The umpire said 'go easy on him, it's his first game'," said 23-year-old delivery driver Hasan Mahmood, the Riverside Notts bowler who got away with two dot **** and a wide before being carted over the boundary.

Bromley have confirmed the departure of defender Kyle Cameron after the mutual termination of his contract.
The 29-year-old arrived last summer following his departure from Notts County, where he had captained the side to promotion from the National League.
He made 18 League Two appearances for the Ravens in 2025-2026, scoring twice, as the club won promotion as champions up to League One.
Cameron started his career at Newcastle and he has also played for the likes of York, Barrow and Torquay.

Former Coventry City winger Jodi Jones says his three anterior cruciate ligament operations made him a better person, just as former manager Mark Robins said it would.
Jones was sidelined for a total of 897 days during a spell at the Sky Blues, which meant missing 130 games, between November 2017 and August 2021.
He went more than five years between starting league matches, from the day he was first hurt playing for the Sky Blues in League Two, to featuring for Notts County in the National League after being sent out on loan by Oxford United in January 2023.
"Being a footballer is the best job in the world as you get up, you go to training and you play football, but you take it for granted at the time," said Jones on the Sky Blues Fancast.
"When it happened, it was really tough at the time. I remember Mark Robins saying to me 'it will make you a better person and you will be so strong after this,' but at the time you don't really listen.

Essex director of cricket Chris Silverwood insisted that batting first was "absolutely the right decision" despite their heavy defeat by Nottinghamshire in County Championship Division One.
The hosts went into the game at Chelmsford on top of the table, but lost by an innings and 52 runs, having been bowled out for just 184 on the opening day after skipper Tom Westley won the toss.
Notts' left-arm spinner Liam Patterson-White took six of the wickets to fall and added three more in the second innings for overall figures of 9-109.
"I was happy with the wicket, I don't mind it turning a bit, which it did," Silverwood told BBC Essex.
"You've got to trust your defence, you've got to have a solid defence against spin, but equally you've got to know where your scoring options are.

Bristol City have appointed former Notts County and Forest Green Rovers boss Ian Burchnall as their **** istant manager.
Burchnall joins new head coach Michael Skubala's team having most recently worked under interim boss Peter Leven at Aberdeen last season.
The 43-year-old spent just over a year at Notts County and was in charge of Forest Green for eight months during their spell in League One during 2022-23.
He has managed in Norway with Viking FC and at Swedish side Ostersunds FK and held **** istant manager roles with Anderlecht in Belgium and Wolves under Gary O'Neil.
"Ian is a great first addition to my coaching staff and an excellent coach, having been a head coach and an **** istant manager across Europe, including the Premier League," Skubala said.

Former Manchester United defender Sonny Aljofree is looking for a new club.
Aljofree joined Manchester United’s first team training in 2022 but spent most of his career out on loan.
The 21-year-old first joined Altrincham for two loan spells, first in 2023 and then in 2024.
He then enjoyed a successful loan spell at Accrington Stanley, where he played regularly. The centre-back played 27 matches and even scored three goals for the League Two side.
Aljofree then joined Notts County on loan last season but could not earn a regular place in the team, making just 11 appearances in total.

Crewe Alexandra have made their first signing of the summer after agreeing a three-year contract with striker Jordan Gibson following his release by Doncaster Rovers.
The 28-year-old left Rovers after two seasons, in which he scored 12 goals in 103 appearances.
He was part of the Doncaster's League Two ***** le-winning campaign in 2024-25 and scored six times as the club comfortably stayed clear of the relegation zone in League One last term, finishing 14th.
The arrival of Gibson, whose deal has the option for an additional year, marks the start of the Alex's summer rebuild following the release of eight players at the end of their contracts and midfielder Max Sanders' move to Notts County.
Six others - Lewis Billington, James Connolly, Stan Dancey, Luca Moore, Fin Roberts and Conor Thomas - are all still all considering their futures after being offered new deals.

Jonny Bairstow inspired Yorkshire to a record Roses win over Lancashire Lightning, while Hampshire Hawks made it five wins from six on a busy Friday in the T20 Blast.
Former England batter Bairstow smashed four sixes and seven fours in a 44-ball knock worth 73 at the top of the order at Headingley, helping the North Group leaders to a total of 213-7, before a below-par Red Rose were skittled for 107 in reply with Jafer Chohan claiming four wickets.
Hampshire continued their dominance of the South Group after piling on the runs in a thrilling five-run win over Surrey at The Oval, despite Dan Lawrence's unbeaten 94 and 70 from Will Jacks in reply.
Elsewhere, D'Arcy Short helped Gloucestershire to an easy west country derby win against defending champions Somerset, who are now fifth in the Central & West Group, while Worcestershire continued their good start with victory over Glamorgan.
In cross-pool play Notts Outlaws inflicted a fifth-straight defeat on Warwickshire Bears after a tense finale, while Sussex were edged out by Leicestershire thanks to late fireworks from Ashton Turner after Harrison Ward had earlier smashed 69 from 33 ***** for the hosts.
