Stars from the Italian soccer league team Juventus spent part of the weekend in New Jersey.

The soccer stars signed autographs, took pictures and played soccer at the fan festival on Sinatra Field in Hoboken. 

The professional soccer club is trying to make a name for themselves in the United States by way of Hoboken.

"They want more fans here in the American market.  They see America is the next market for soccer to develop and they said since they're here there's no better place than Hoboken to do it," says event organizer Alberico G. De Pierro.

Families got to enjoy all sorts of activities from face paintings to free giveaways.
