In [[association football]], notable clubs in Piedmont include [[Turin]]-based [[Juventus]] and [[Torino F.C.|Torino]], who have won 43 official top-flight league championships (as of the [[2020–21 Serie A|2020–21 season]]) between them (36 titles won by Juventus and seven by Torino), more than any other city in Italy. Juventus is the most successful club in Italy, having won the most league titles (36), [[Coppa Italia]] titles (14), and [[Supercoppa Italiana]] titles (9) of any team in the country; [[Juventus Women]], established in 2017, also achieved success, immediately becoming one of the country's most successful women's teams. Other smaller teams include the old "Piedmont Quadrilateral" components [[Novara Calcio|Novara]], [[U.S. Alessandria Calcio 1912|Alessandria]], [[Associazione Sportiva Casale Calcio|Casale]], and [[Pro Vercelli]]. With the pre-[[World War II]] success of Pro Vercelli in 1910s and Juventus in 1930s, as well as winning cycles of Torino during the ''[[Grande Torino]]'' years and Juventus in different eras since 1950, the region became the most successful in terms of championships won. Casale and [[U.S.D. Novese|Novese]] contributed with one ''[[scudetto]]'' each. Other local teams include volleyball teams [[Piemonte Volley|Cuneo]] (male) and [[AGIL Volley|AGIL Novara]] (female), basketball teams Biella Basketball and Junior Casale, ice hockey team Hockey Club Turin, and roller hockey side [[Amatori Vercelli]], who have won three league titles, an Italian Cup, and two [[CERS Cup]]s.
