Juventus has been fined €10,000 by Lega Serie A for failing to observe a minute’s silence honoring the late Sandro Mazzola. The tribute took place before their match against Atalanta at Allianz Stadium on September 20, 2026, following Mazzola's death at the age of 83 earlier that weekend.

During the tribute, some Juventus supporters in the Curva Sud reportedly turned their backs on the field and sang chants for former club legends, disrupting the minute of silence. This act drew significant criticism from the broader football community and prompted Juventus to publicly condemn the actions of those supporters shortly after the match.
The league indicated that the fine was reduced due to Juventus’s prompt response in denouncing the behavior of the fans and the fact that the majority of attendees responded by applauding in support of Mazzola.
