Juventus Fútbol Club , also known as Juventus or Juventus Managua, is a Nicaraguan professional football club based in Managua, Nicaragua which currently plays in the Nicaraguan Premier Division.

History

Juventus Managua was founded in 1977, and has been in and out of Nicaragua's first division ever since. Their greatest period of success was in the early 1990s, when they won back to back championships in 1993 and 1994. After that, they spent a long time outside of the First Division, not returning until 2011. Since their return in 2011, the club has been solidly mid-table. They successfully weathered a serious financial crisis in 2014.
