vehicle) on urban lines and on city lines of GTT suburban
lines. It is also valid for a metro trip within the 90 minutes
validity. It can only be used by one person.

Note: When boarding public transportation you should punch
your ticket immediately or at least before the first stop to
avoid potential fines. If you have individual tickets, you
should punch the ticket at the appropriate machine – usually
grey or orange in colour. With cards, you can swipe the card
against the blue machine provided. If you find yourself
without a ticket, some trams (for example number 4 tram)
provide a separate red machine from which to buy tickets at a
cost of € 2.50. But it is best to avoid this option if
possible and always carry a spare ticket in your wallet.

Football Trip to Turin – How to Get
to the Match
Football Trip to Turin – The Stadium
Juventus Stadium is in the Vallette borough of Turin, Italy,
and the home of Juventus F.C. The stadium was built on the
site of Juventus’ and Torino’s former home, the Stadio delle
Alpi, and is one of only four club-owned football stadiums in
Serie A. It was opened at the start of the 2011–12 season and
has a capacity of just over 41,000 spectators.

The Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino is a multi-purpose stadium
located in Turin, Italy. It is the home ground of Serie A club
Torino Football Club. The stadium is in Piazzale Grande
Torino, in the district of Santa Rita, in the south-central
area of the city. Constructed in the 1930s, originally known
as the “Stadio Municipale” and later the “Stadio Comunale”, it
was the home of Juventus and Torino until 1990, when it was
abandoned in favour of the Stadio delle Alpi. After a sixteen-
year stint without Serie A football, the stadium was renovated
and renamed the “Stadio Olimpico” on the occasion of the 2006
Winter Olympics. In a reversal of 1990, both Juventus and
Torino moved back to the Olimpico, with Juventus using it
until the end of the 2010–11 season, and Torino retaining it
as their home stadium to the present day.

Football Trip to Turin – Where to stay
Divided into 23 districts, the city exudes all kinds of
different atmospheres. Though Turin offers a wide array of
accommodation option, our advice is to look for an apartment
or a hotel room in the city center so as not to waste time on
public transport.
Football Trip to Turin – What else to see
& do
The tall spire of Mole Antonelliana is the pinnacle of the
Turin skyline and an iconic symbol of the city. It was built
as a synagogue in 1848 when the freedom of worship to non-
Catholic religions was officially granted. Today it is the
Museo Nazionale del Cinema (National Museum of Cinema),
housing equipment and memorabilia from the earliest days of
film production to the present. But the real draw is the
viewing platform at the top of the building, which offers
amazing views of the city and mountains beyond.

Piazza Castello, which hosts two major Baroque structures
designed by architect Filippo Juvarra – Palazzo Reale (Royal
Palace) and Palazzo Madama. The latter was so admired by
Napoleon that he made it his Turin residence. Juvarra is
celebrated for his weightless details and dignified
simplicity, and these two buildings stand in testament to his
mastery of majesty without pomp. Palazzo Reale was originally
built in the 16th century, but underwent modification by the
architect at the request of princess Christine Marie of France
in the late 17th century. The ochre palace seems infinite,
stretching out on three sides of a rectangle with an elegantly
arched but simple frontage. Palazzo Madama dates from 1003 and
the façade was added by Juvarra in 1718.

Two of the best grand 19th-century Caffè San Carlo and the Art
Nouveau Caffè Torino are in the Piazza San Carlo. The other
Baratti & Milano is in the Piazza Castello. All three are
worth a visit.

Cortile del Maglio is a large, covered square within a former
military complex in the Aurora district of the city (read
about the history here). The industrial architecture makes it
ideal for holding performances, events and exhibitions, so it
has now become a lively hub for creativity and culture. It
becomes part of the Balon Flea Market every weekend and
regularly hosts live music, theatre and artisanal food and
drink fairs. There is bound to be something worth visiting
during your trip.

The royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist
houses the Turin shroud and is in itself is a hugely
interesting and ornate building. Inside the structure, the
Turin Shroud lies in a protective casing and can be viewed
free of charge.

Football Trip to Turin – Where to Drink
Birrificio Torino (Via Parma, 30) microbrewery which also does
food.

Birrificio La Piazza (Via Jacopo Durandi) this is a brewpub is
a vocational school to continue the Turinese brewing tradition
teaching the art of craft beers to the future Italian brewers.

Birrificio San Paolo (via Airasca 11/B)This is a special
brewery because the production is semi-manual, all the
ingredients (malts, hops, spices and flavors) are natural and
locally produced and the beers are NOT filtered, pasteurized,
fermented in the bottles and don’t contain any preservatives.

Birrificio Petrarca (Via Petrarca 7) Huge wooden tables,
legendary hamburgers and sandwiches, a good beers selection!

Piper Pub ( Via del Ridotto, 22) Fantastic selection of Beers
(bottles mainly).

Beerba (Via Sant’Anselmo 13b) This easy-going bar in San
Salvario spreads one of the best apericena buffets in the
city. You’ll find salads, pastas, pizzas, baked dishes,
grilled vegetables and more – all up more than 25 different
dishes for the price of a drink.

Open Baladin is a slice of paradise for all enthusiasts of
craft beer. This made-in-Piedmont brand recently opened its
stylish bar right in the city centre, just at a few minutes
from Piazza Vittorio. It has two floors where you can taste
dozens of artisanal beers, also from other independent Italian
brands, together with fine appetizers and local dishes.
(Piazzale Valdo Fusi, Turin)

Football Trip to Turin – Where to Eat
Caffè Vini Emilio Ranzini (Via Porta Palatina, 9) an
unassuming family-run piolais like stepping back in time. Open
since the 1950s, it serves cold meals. Ask for a tagliere, a
mix of sliced local cheeses and cured meats, if you want to
taste such delicacies as la mocetta, an artisan salami made
using an ancient method from high in the Alps,
artisan    salsiccia     cruda,    blu   di    Lanzo    and
excellent gorgonzola cheeses.

Piola Da Celso (Via Verzuolo, 40) Located in what once was a
workmen’s neighbourhood, Borgo San Paolo, this small piola has
not changed for decades. The owner, energetic 80-something
year-old Celso, greets clients and chats with some in a
Piedmontese dialect. On weekends, it gets very busy and you
might have to wait to be served. Book your table in advance
for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Pizzeria Ristorante Sicomoro: (via Stampatori, 6) A modern
interior and another popular one with locals. You can usually
get a table if you get there early but booking ahead is highly
recommended.

Pizzeria Cammafa: (via Pio VII, 19) Said to be one of the best
Neapolitan pizzas in Turin. Locals enthuse about this one. The
pizza is tasty. The service is fast.

Dai Saletta (Via Belfiore, 37) authentic trattoria in the
middle of the city, the restaurant is famous for traditional
dishes such as tajarin or brasato al barolo.
Cianci Piola Caffe (B, Largo IV Marzo, 9) on the edge of the
Roman Quarter, where you’ll be guided through the budget-
friendly menu by knowledgeable staff. Expect to pay
approximately €30 per person for a selection of starters,
pasta, mains and dessert.

Key Fixtures
The Sarajevo derby (Bosnian: Vječiti derbi, Sarajevski derbi)
is a match between rivals from Bosnia’s capital city FK
Željezničar Sarajevo and FK Sarajevo, the two biggest and most
popular clubs in Bosnia, during which fans usually create a
competitive atmosphere with big flags, paper rolls, scarfs and
loud chanting. It is not uncommon to see members of the same
family on opposite sides, not speaking to each other on the
day of the derby, with opposing fans engaging in mutual
provocations at the end of the match, eagerly awaiting the
next confrontation although, in recent years, this has led to
clashes between some younger fans.

Planning a football trip to Belgium next season? Fixtures for
the 19-20 Season have now been released.

The Belgian First Division A is the top league competition for
association football clubs in Belgium. Following the 2015–16
season it was renamed from the Belgian Pro League (officially
known as Jupiler Pro League (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʒypilɛr
ˈproː ˈlik]). Contested by 16 clubs, it operates on a system
of promotion and relegation with the Belgian First Division B.
Seasons run from late July to early May, with teams playing 30
matches each in the regular season, and then entering play-
offs 1 or play-offs 2 according to their position in the
regular season. Play-offs 1 (also known as the title playoffs)
are contested by the top 6 clubs in the regular season, with
each club playing each other twice. Play-offs 2 (also known as
the Europa League playoff) are contested by teams ranked 7 to
15 in the regular season, divided in two groups of 6 teams
playing each other twice (three teams from the Belgian First
Division B also take part in playoff 2). The team finishing in
16th place is relegated. As of 2014 the league was sponsored
by AB InBev, brewers of Jupiler beer, and officially known as
Jupiler Pro League.

The season starts on the weekend of the 26th to 28th   July and
runs for 30 weeks finishing mid May. There will be a winter
break with the last fixtures of the first half of the season

division. As part of the 2017–18 Belgian football fraud
investigation, Mechelen were at first not allowed to take part
in the First Division A, but execution of that penalty has
been suspended until the Belgian Court of Arbitration for
Sports either reverses or confirms that decision on 25 June.
In case of confirmation of the verdict, runners up Beerschot,
will take the extra place in the First Division A.

Fixtures Released
Planning a football trip to The Czech Republic? The season
starts Friday 12th July and fixtures for the full season are
available to help plan your football trip to The Czech
Republic.

It is contested by 16 clubs, operating a system of promotion
and relegation with the Czech National Football League. Since
2018/19 seasons run from July to May, with teams playing 30
games each. Then teams are divided into three groups playing
superstructure for final positions. The league is currently
ranked 13th in Europe in the UEFA league rankings.

The history of the Czech football league began at the end of
the 20th century. It was reorganised for the 1993–1994 season,
after the dissolution of former Czechoslovakia and therefore
of the Czechoslovak League. Having won 12 of league titles,
Sparta Prague is the most successful team in Czech First
League history. Other clubs who have won the title are Slavia
Prague, Slovan Liberec, Baník Ostrava and Viktoria Plzeň.

Changes from 2018
The 2018–19 season was the first season played with the new
competition format. After a regular season, which lasts from
July to April and which is played by the same key as previous
season, the teams are divided into three groups. The top 6
teams from the regular season enter the championship group,
with the first-placed team winning the championship of Czech
Republic. The teams play against each other only once, having
total of 5 matches. Earned points are added to the points from
the regular season.

The teams from 7th–10th position in regular season take part
in the Europa League play-offs. The best of them play against
the forth-placed or fifth-placed (it depends on the result of
the Czech Cup and on the Czech coefficient rankings between
European football leagues) of the championship group to
determine, who will participate in the Europa League.

The teams from 11th–16th position in regular season play by
the same key as championship group. The team placed on 16th
position is relegated straightly into the Czech National
Football League, while teams on 15th and 14th places play
relegation play-off against 2nd and 3rd team from the Czech
National Football League.
