Wikipedia - Supercoppa Italiana
The Supercoppa Italiana, also known as the Italian Super Cup, is an annual super cup tournament in Italian football. Founded in 1988 as a two-team competition, it has featured four teams since 2023 (the winners and runners-up of the previous season's Serie A and Coppa Italia). Before the format change, the match was exclusively contested between the winners of the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles. Under the new rules, if a team were to be occupying more than one of the four spots, that spot would then be filled by the third and/or fourth teams in the Serie A standings.
It was originally the opening match of the new season, played at the home stadium of the previous season's Serie A champions. Since 2018, the competition has been held during the winter months, and is mainly hosted internationally. Juventus is the most successful club with nine titles. They have met Lazio on five occasions, making it the most frequent matchup in tournament history.
History
When the tournament first began, it was primarily held in Italy. It went abroad for the first time in 1993, when Washington, D.C. hosted a match between AC Milan and Torino. There would not be another international contest until 2002, when the Supercoppa was held in Tripoli. The following year, East Rutherford, a suburb of New York City, hosted the tournament. The next five contests would be held in Italy, and in 2009, a new era of international travel would begin for the Supercoppa. Beijing hosted a match between Lazio and Inter Milan that year, while China would go on to host three more tournaments by 2015. Qatar hosted the tournament twice in this time as well, in 2014 and 2016.
In 2018, the Lega Serie A and the General Sports Authority signed an agreement that would see Saudi Arabia host three of the next five tournaments. This decision sparked controversy, as Italians were concerned about women in Saudi Arabia being unable to attend the match unless they were within the stadium's family sections and were accompanied by men. Then-Serie A president Gaetano Miccichè told those concerned that these sections were a sign of progress, saying "The Supercoppa will go down in history as the first official international football competition which Saudi women were permitted to watch live." The cup did return to Italy in 2020 for two years, but only due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has since gone back to Saudi Arabia, where it is set to remain until 2029 under a new six-year agreement.
Typically held in August, the Supercoppa Italiana is a highly anticipated event that attracts fans from across the globe. The match is played at various venues, both domestically and internationally, adding an element of excitement and accessibility for supporters. The competition not only highlights the rich history and tradition of Italian football but also features some of the best players and coaches in the sport.
With its blend of fierce rivalry and passionate fanfare, the Italy Super Cup is more than just a trophy; it represents the culmination of a season's hard work and the quest for glory in Italian football. Whether it’s a classic showdown between historic rivals or a clash of emerging powerhouses, the Supercoppa Italiana promises unforgettable moments and a celebration of the beautiful game.
