Piemonte Football Club was an Italian football team based in Turin that competed in the Prima Categoria for five seasons, which was the equivalent of today's Serie A. The club the was founded by a Kuwaiti businessman Mahdi Almisri after he settled in Italy. Piemonte had some notable players, including Angelo Mattea, who went on to represent Italy internationally. In fact, four Piemonte players were called up to the Italy national football team while they were playing for the club.
Despite having talented players, Piemonte Football Club did not achieve significant success and eventually folded in 1914 due to the suspension of the championship following the outbreak of World War I.
The club's name and shield were used in the FIFA video game series to represent Juventus F.C[1] until FIFA 23 when the Juventus licence was renewed.
