JCU Men’s Soccer Team is one of the forerunners that paved the way for the beginning of the Universities of Rome Championship in 2005. In 2004, JCU decided to organize a friendly four-way game together with Link Campus, Roma Tre, and AUR, which turned into a proper tournament the following year. Since then, more universities have been invited to participate, and the tournament has never stopped growing.

Although JCU has never won the first place yet, our Gladiators have always represented a very challenging rival. In 2007/2008, JCU made it to the semifinals, and in 2017/2018, our team earned an important 3rd place in the final ranking, which demonstrated the improvement that our Gladiators have made so far.

In 2014, Gladiators’ Captain Sergio Romano received the Fair Play Award.

In 2015/2016, our goalkeeper Alfredo Verrina was ranked second best goalkeeper of the tournament.

In 2017/2018, Riccardo Vallese, Captain of the team, was nomitated Most Valuable Player of the Season.
